Donor-derived cell-free DNA
Evidence level: review-abstract-only; unverified
Named in the review abstract as a candidate biomarker (graft-derived DNA circulating in the blood). Unverified beyond the abstract.
As of . Primary source: Burman et al. 2026, J Heart Lung Transplant (DOI; abstract only was read).
Summary
The abstract of the review by Burman and colleagues names this candidate biomarker (graft-derived DNA circulating in the blood). The abstract states that the biomarkers named may aid risk stratification, patient enrichment and endotype-guided trials. No performance data are stated, and this record is a stub that is unverified beyond the abstract. Only the abstract of the source review was read; the full text was not read.
