Olson, T. S., Frost, B. F., Duke, J. L., Dribus, M., Xie, H. M., Prudowsky, Z. D., . . . Babushok, D. V. (2022). Pathogenicity and impact of HLA class I alleles in aplastic anemia patients of different ethnicities. JCI Insight, 7(22). https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.163040

Contribution: Performed a disease association study using logistic regression to determine if HLA Class I alleles that were identified as “high-risk” or “low-risk” in severe aplastic anemia based on mutation rate were also identified as “high-risk” or “low-risk” based on allele frequencies in a cohort of cases and controls from the National Marrow Donor Program.
