Statistical comparisons: DBY, UTY, ≥1 H–Y, ≥2 H–Y antibody frequency between male recipients with female donors (F→M HSCT) and either male recipients with male donors (M → M HSCT) or healthy males; P < .001, 2-sided Fisher exact test. DBY, UTY, ZFY, RPS4Y, and ≥2 H–Y antibody frequency between F → M HSCT and healthy females; P < .008, 2-sided Fisher exact test. DBY, RPS4Y, ≥1 H–Y, and ≥2 H–Y antibody frequency between female donors and male donors; P < .007, 2-sided Fisher exact test. Comparison of ≥1 H–Y with ≥1 H–X in F→M HSCT and healthy females; P < .0001, 2-sided McNemar test.
