Gene Expression Monitoring in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients

AlloMap® gene expression testing is a non-invasive screening tool approved for use in heart transplant recipients age 15 and older. Experience with AlloMap® in pediatric heart transplant recipients is limited.
Pediatric Heart Transplant

We sought to describe the variations in AlloMap® scores seen in pediatric heart transplant recipients. This is a retrospective study of all pediatric heart transplant recipients with AlloMap® scoring at a single institution between 2013 and 2014. All possible scores were recorded.

Other variables recorded at the time of each AlloMap® score included immunosuppressive regimen, patient demographics and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) results.
