The main limitation to long-term lung transplant (LT) survival is chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which leads to irreversible lung damage and significant mortality. Individual factors can impact CLAD, but no large genetic investigation has been conducted to date. We established the multicentric Genetic COhort in Lung Transplantation (GenCOLT) biobank from a rich and homogeneous sub-part of COLT cohort.

With personal health data, this re-identification risk may be considered a double-crossing of patients' trust. Herein, we present a new method to generate synthetic data of individual granularity while holding on to patients' privacy.

We collected DNA samples for kidney transplantations performed in Nantes, and we leveraged GWAS genotyping data for securing high-quality genetic data with deep SNP and HLA annotations through imputations and for inferring D/R genetic ancestry. Overall, the biobank included 4217 individuals (n = 1945 D + 2,272 R, including 1969 D/R pairs), 7.
