Within the field of solid organ transplantation, HLA molecular matching is a hot topic. Over the past decade, multiple approaches have been introduced to predict HLA immunogenicity on the molecular level.
While, indeed, at the population level, an increasing number of molecular mismatches is strongly associated with the formation of de novo donor-specific antibody and worse graft survival after transplantation, at the patient level, it is not necessarily a numbers game. Not every HLA molecular mismatch is equally immunogenic, and immunological risk assessments require more than counting mismatches.
