| Context |
Three patients disparate for one antigen were homozygous at the mismatched locus and hence were a one locus mismatch with respect to rejection direction and no locus mismatch with respect to GVHD direction. All the remaining patients and donors were heterozygous at the mismatched locus, and therefore were disparate both in the direction of GVHD and in the direction of rejection.
