  • The term multivisceral is used for a set of organs when pancreas and stomach accompany the small bowel allograft. One wild-type recipient was retransplanted over the course of the study. Of the three mutant donor organs, two were transplanted into mutant recipients and one into a wild-type recipient (see text). p Values were determined as described in the Methods section.
