Genetic variants of human granzyme B predict transplant outcomes after HLA matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation for myeloid malignancies.

Serine protease granzyme B plays important roles in infections, autoimmunity, transplant rejection, and antitumor immunity. A triple-mutated granzyme B variant that encodes three amino substitutions (Q48R, P88A, and Y245H) has been reported to have altered biological functions. In the polymorphism r...
