Gene-expression profiling for rejection surveillance after cardiac transplantation.
N Engl J Med. 2010; (20): 1890-900
Endomyocardial biopsy is the standard method of monitoring for rejection in recipients of a cardiac transplant. However, this procedure is uncomfortable, and there are risks associated with it. Gene-expression profiling of peripheral-blood specimens has been shown to correlate with the results of an endomyocardial biopsy.
