Figure 1 The IL23R-1142 G>A allele in the donor is associated with less severe and less frequent GVHD (Spearman correlation P=.024). Donor IL23R-1142 G>A positive, n=20; donor IL23R-1142 G>A negative, n=161.

Figure 2 Polymorphisms of IL23R and NOD2/CARD15 are not associated with OS after stem cell transplantation in children. (A) Patient IL23R-1142 G>A positive (n=17) versus patient IL23R-1142 G>A negative (n=200). (B) Donor IL23R-1142 G>A positive (n=20) versus donor IL23R-1142 G>A negative (n=161). (C) Patient positive for any of the 3 SNPs in NOD2/CARD15 (n=41) versus patient negative for all 3 SNPs (n=176). (D) Donor positive for any of the 3 SNPs in NOD2/CARD15 (n=33) versus patient negative for all 3 SNPs (n=148).
