  • Publication number: 20210222240
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining the status of an allograft within a transplant recipient from genotypic data measured from a mixed sample of DNA comprising DNA from both the transplant recipient and from the donor. The mixed sample of DNA may be preferentially enriched at a plurality of polymorphic loci in a way that minimizes the allelic bias, for example using massively multiplexed targeted PCR.
