Validation of genetic associations with acute GVHD and nonrelapse mortality in DISCOVeRY-BMT.

TO THE EDITOR: In their recent report in Blood Advances , Martinez-Laperche et al[1][1] proposed a predictive model for the risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) based on the selection of clinical variables and 25 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), spanning different
