Characteristics of donors and patients.

NTCR: normalized telomere centromere ratio.Lower NTCR group: Median NTCRs of the recipient hepatocyte were significantly lower than those of the donor.Comparable NTCR group: Median NTCRs of the recipient hepatocyte were neither significantly lower nor higher than those of the donor.Median donor age and median recipient age at the time of LDLT were 36.6 y (28.6 y to 44.8 y) and 1.7 y (0.8 y to 8.3 y), respectively.Median donor age and median recipient age at the time of biopsy were 46.2 y (34.8 y to 56.2 y) and 12.0 y (6.3 y to 19.7 y), respectively.The median interval from LDLT to biopsy was 9.6 y.
