Highlights
•One third of HLA-identical sibling donor transplant recipients never ever develop any graft-versus-host disease
•This rate of no graft-versus-host disease is significantly higher with male donors in female recipients
•Factors associated with no graft-versus-host disease should become a target of precision medicine
•Prediction of no graft-versus-host disease could become a decision-guiding tool for early transplantations
•Such an approach could spare immunosuppression, improve survival, and reduce costs
