Glutathione <i>S</i>‐transferase A1 polymorphisms and acute graft‐vs.‐host disease in HLA‐matched sibling allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Busulfan and the metabolites of cyclophosphamide are conjugated with glutathione and catabolized by enzymes of the cytosolic glutathione S-transferases family. There are clearly linked single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of the glutathione S-transferase A1 gene (i.e., GSTA1*A, -567T, -69C and -52G; GSTA1*B, -567G, -69T and -52A). We assessed whether the clinical outcomes, including acute graft-vs.-host disease, of 61 patients with hematological malignancies, following HLA-matched sibling allogeneic stem cell transplantation using busulfan/cyclophosphamide conditioning are altered by glutathione S-transferase A1 genotypes. Globally, grade II-IV acute graft-vs.-host disease developed in 13 patients (21%). Grade II-IV acute graft-vs.-host disease developed in 15.2% of 46 patients with GSTA1*A/*A diplotype and in 40.0% of 15 patients with GSTA1*A/*B or GSTA1*B/*B diplotype (p = 0.04). Moreover, this relationship between GSTA1*A/*A diplotypes and lower incidence of acute graft-vs.-host disease was independent of the age, gender, stem cell source, and disease status. The incidences of acute skin graft-vs.-host disease were 7% (3/46) in patients with GSTA1*A/*A and 27% (4/15) in patients without GSTA1*A/*A (p = 0.009, univariate; p = 0.01, multivariate). Acute hepatic graft-vs.-host disease developed in 6 (13%) of 46 patients with the GSTA1*A/*A diplotype and in 4 (27%) of 15 patients without this diplotype (p = 0.09, univariate; p = 0.12, multivariate). Ten patients (16%) developed hepatic veno-occlusive disease. No significant difference was found in the incidence of hepatic veno-occlusive disease between patients with and without the GSTA1*A/*A diplotype (19.6% vs. 6.7%; p = 0.24). We conclude that the GSTA1*A/*A diplotype is an independent protective factor against acute graft-vs.-host disease, especially for skin graft-vs.-host disease, and probably for hepatic graft-vs.-host disease, in patients using busulfan/cyclophosphamide conditioning. The identification of glutathione S-transferase A1 genotypes prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation could allow conditioning regimens and graft-vs.-host disease prophylaxis to be modified to improve outcome.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
