Figure 1 NOD2/CARD15 variants (var) of the recipient independently increase the risk of developing BO after allo-SCT. A, Frequency of NOD2/CARD15 variants in donors and recipients of patients with (n = 11) and without (n = 416) BO (∗P < .05). B-D, Cumulative incidence of BO after allo-SCT depending on whether (B) the recipient, the donor, or both carry a NOD2/CARD15 variant (n =104); (C) only the recipient has a NOD2/CARD15 variant (n = 49); or (D) only the donor has a NOD2/CARD15 mutation (n = 37). Wt represents wild-type controls, that is, neither donor nor recipient has a NOD2/CARD15 variant (n = 323) (∗P < .05; ∗∗P < .01). E, Chronic GVHD and recipient NOD2/CARD15 variant are independent risk factors for BO development.
