Non-HLA genes associated with risk of infections and transplant-related mortality.

GeneAllelesEffectR or D genotypeReference
Abbreviations: MPO, myeloperoxidase, an enzyme found primarily in the lysomes of neutrophils. A single base substitution (G > A) in the promoter region of the MPO gene (463) decreases expression and alters binding site for the transcription factor; FcγRIIa, Fcγ receptor, polymorphisms of the receptor affect receptor affinity and specificity; FcγRIIIb, Fcγ receptor HNA1a and HNA1b, isoforms affect different ligand binding of antibodies; MBL, mannose-binding lectin. 
MPO AG/AA D Increased bacterial infection. Increased risk of leukemic death Rocha et al18  
FcγRIIa R-131 Increased first overall infections Rocha et al18  
FcγRIIIb HNA1a/HNA1a Delayed neutrophil recovery
 Severe infection
 Increased risk of leukemic death Rocha et al18  
 HNA1b/HNA1b Increased transplantation-related mortality rates   
 HNA1a/HNA1b Quick neutrophil recovery  
MBL HYA haplotype Decreased infection D/R Mullighan et al55  
 MBL2 Increased risk of major infection D/R
