  • Non-invasive early detection of solid organ transplant rejection by quantitative analysis of mixtures by deep sequencing of HLA gene amplicons using next generation systems
    Patent number: 9752189
    Abstract: The invention is a method of detecting or assessing solid organ graft (transplant) rejection by detecting donor-specific HLA alleles in a blood sample of a graft (transplant) recipient. The invention further comprises a method of detecting the presence of maternal cells in a blood sample of an offspring.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2017
    Assignees: Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., The Scripps Research Institute
    Inventors: Henry Erlich, Bryan Hoglund, Cherie Holcomb, Priscilla Moonsamy, Nick Newton, Melinda Rastrou, Nancy Schoenbrunner, Alison Tsan, Daniel Salomon
  • NON-INVASIVE EARLY DETECTION OF SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANT REJECTION BY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF HLA GENE AMPLICONS
    Publication number: 20160017421
    Abstract: The invention is a method of detecting or assessing solid organ graft (transplant) rejection and acute dysfunction—no rejection condition by detecting donor-specific HLA alleles in a blood sample of a graft (transplant) recipient.

  • METHOD OF DETERMINING THE FRACTION OF FETAL DNA IN MATERNAL BLOOD USING HLA MARKERS
    Publication number: 20150203914
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method of determining the fraction of fetal DNA in maternal blood or plasma using HLA locus wherein the maternal and fetal HLA alleles are detected and quantified by clonal or digital methods.
