Recipient Plg genotype is a risk factor for development of invasive aspergillosis after day 40 following HSCT.

HSCT recipients with “AA” (Asn/Asn) or “AG” (Asp/Asn) genotype are at increased risk of developing invasive aspergillosis following transplant as compared to HSCT recipients with “GG” (Asp/Asp) genotype. The data were adjusted for cell type, HLA match, and malignancy category. The “GG” (Asp/Asp) genotype is the referent category.
