Abstract
Among the post-transplantation complications that patients may encounter, the transmission of a donor-derived malignant neoplasm is uncommon but potentially life threatening. The determination of donor versus recipient origin is essential particularly in the setting of multiple transplant recipients from the donor. Advances in molecular biology now allow accurate discrimination utilizing routine tissue samples in a timely and cost-effective manner. The techniques are routinely performed in hospital molecular biology laboratories and are also available in commercial labs. The current methodologies are discussed and future possibilities are presented for clinicians caring for solid organ recipients.
