USE OF GENETIC AND EPIGENETIC MARKERS TO DETECT CELL DEATH

A method of detecting donor cell death in a subject receiving foreign biological material from a donor. The method comprises sequencing cfDNA in a biospecimen from the subject; determining cellular origin of the cfDNA by identifying methylation patterns in the sequence of the cfDNA and comparing the...

Summary:A method of detecting donor cell death in a subject receiving foreign biological material from a donor. The method comprises sequencing cfDNA in a biospecimen from the subject; determining cellular origin of the cfDNA by identifying methylation patterns in the sequence of the cfDNA and comparing the methylation patterns in the sequence of the cfDNA to known methylation patterns associated with different cell types; and determining source origin of the cfDNA by genotyping the cfDNA and identifying whether the cfDNA originates from the foreign biological material or from the subject. Cell death is detected when the cfDNA has both a cellular origin of the type of foreign biological material that was received from the donor, and a source origin of the donor.
