At 13 months old, twins Kendall and Chloe Roehling were both diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and required heart transplants.
Matt Anderson, M.D., medical director at BloodCenter of Wisconsin, had never seen a case like theirs before, and said that it was crucial to understand the twins’ identical, yet difficult to understand, HLA antibodies to ensure safe transplants. By using cells from volunteer blood donors, Dr. Anderson and his team were able to put the pieces together.
