Human leukocyte antigen eplet mismatches and long-term clinical outcomes in pediatric renal transplantation: A pragmatic, registry-based study.

Associations between HLA EpMM and clinical outcomes in pediatric renal allograft recipients seen on univariate analysis were attenuated following adjustment for confounders. These findings are inconclusive but suggest that HLA EpMM may provide one tool for assessing long-term risk in this population while highlighting the need for further clinical studies.
