Chimerism (Pre-Transplantation)
A small tissue biopsy is processed and examined to detect cellular abnormalities, cancer, or infections. The sample is analyzed under a microscope using various stains and techniques. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like skin cancers, liver disease, and gastrointestinal disorders.

This is a preparatory test and does not yield diagnostic outcomes. The STR profiles generated are stored for comparison with post-transplant chimerism assays.
Post-transplant, repeat chimerism tests are performed to determine the proportion of donor vs. recipient cells, guiding the success of engraftment and need for therapeutic intervention.
Pre-transplant chimerism testing is used to establish baseline DNA profiles of the recipient and donor prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It allows for accurate post-transplant monitoring of donor cell engraftment.
It is performed prior to allogeneic HSCT to record genetic differences between donor and recipient, which are crucial for post-transplant follow-up.
DNA is extracted from blood or buccal swabs of the donor and recipient, and STR (short tandem repeat) markers are analyzed using PCR-based methods.
