Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Bc. Michaela Řehounková Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Martin Beránek, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Genetic markers for monitoring post-transplant chimerism The aims of the thesis: Data processing of patients, who underwent allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a period from 2010 to 2014 in University Hospital Hradec Kralove and whose state of chimerism was monitored at the Section of Molecular Biology at the Institute of Clinical Biochemistry and Diagnostics. Consequently, analysis of the possible relationship between selected clinical parameters and used genetic markers for chimerism quantification was carried out after the processing of acquired data. Finally, the possible influence of treatment success and mortality by chosen clinical parameters was evaluated. Methods: Analysis of short tandem repeat loci, which uses genetic variability between donor and recipient of transplanted graft, was employed for quantification of post- transplant chimerism. DNA of donor and recipient was isolated by QIAmp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany), amplified by AmpFlSTR Identifier Kit (Applied Biosystems, USA) and separated by capillary electrophoresis (analyzer ABI 3130-4, Applied...
