Exploring Chronic Lung Transplant (LTx) Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD): The Potential Clinical Prognostic Relevance of Single Bite Transbronchial Biopsy (TBB) Microarray

TBB histologic assessment of CLAD status, particularly late post-LTx, is typically clinically unhelpful. Microarray analyses using the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx) in kidney& heart recipients are proving useful in providing mechanistic targets that inform therapeutic interventions, and could show similar promise in LTx.
