Matching for HLA class I alleles, including HILA-C, is an important criterion for outcome of unrelated donor transplantation. However, haplotype-mismatched transplantations for myeloid malignancies, mismatched for killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligands in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction, is associated with lower rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse, and mortality. This study investigated the effect of KIR ligand mismatching on the outcome of unrelated donor transplantation. The outcomes after 1571 unrelated donor transplantations for myeloid malignancies where donor-recipient pairs were HILA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 matched (n = 1004), GVH KIR ligand-mismatched (n = 137), host-versus-graft (HVG) KIR ligand-mismatched (n = 170), and HLA-B and/or -C-mismatched but KIR ligand-matched (n = 260) were compared using Cox regression models. Treatment-related mortality (TRM), treatment failure, and overall mortality were lowest after matched transplantations. Patients who received grafts from donors mismatched at the KIR ligand in the GVH or HVG direction and mismatched at HLA-B and/or C but matched at the KIR ligand had similar rates of TRM, treatment failure, and overall mortality. There were no differences in leukemia recurrence between the 4 groups. These results do not support the choice of an unrelated donor on the basis of KIR ligand mismatch determined from HI-A typing.
