Core Tip	This retrospective study highlights the emerging role of donor-specific anti- human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ antibodies in kidney transplantation, an area where evidence from Moroccan populations remains scarce. Individual cases illustrate the clinical spectrum, but the findings derive from a systematic retrospective analysis. The study highlights the association between anti-HLA-DQ antibodies, antibody-mediated rejection, and graft outcomes, underscoring the need to integrate HLA-DQ monitoring into routine post-transplant follow-up and offering a valuable perspective for improving patient management in resource-limited settings.
