LOINC description : Matching of HLA alleles between unrelated donors and transplant recipients is undertaken
to reduce the risk of graft versus host disease to the greatest extent possible. However,
it has been shown that HLA-DPB1 matched unrelated donors are often difficult to find.
As a result HLA-DPB1 alleles have been placed into groups, so that HLA-DPB1 mismatches
between donor and recipient can be classified as permissive mismatches (which have
a greater chance of success) versus non-permissive [PMID:22340965].;
