1. A surgical procedure in which tissue or an organ is transplanted from one genetically identical individual to another, such as between identical twins.
Usage: medical; also called isograft transplantation

Examples

• Isografting between identical twins has a much higher success rate than other types of organ transplants.
• The surgeon recommended isografting as the best option because the donor and recipient were genetically identical.
• Isografting eliminates the risk of rejection that occurs with allografts from unrelated donors.
• Researchers studied isografting outcomes to better understand transplant compatibility.
• Because of their identical genetics, the twins were ideal candidates for isografting.
