The significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its polymorphisms in renal allograft rejection has recently become the subject of extensive research. Recently, some studies have shown some role of VEGF in rejection episodes and graft survival. VEGF +936 C>T polymorphism is significant in the transcription regulation of VEGF. Herein, we report the results of a prospective, single-center study seeking an association of VEGF +936 C/T gene polymorphism and allograft rejection. One hundred and forty-seven kidney transplant recipients with age-and sex-matched controls were included in this study. VEGF 936 C/T genes were studied using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the blood specimen of these patients. All patients were studied for allograft rejection, response to treatment, and overall graft survival. We found that CT genotype and T allele carrier state were associated with good graft outcomes (P = 0.008 and 0.002, respectively). There was a lower number of rejection episodes with T allele, although it was not a significant finding (P = 0.880). Our findings suggest that good graft outcome in kidney transplant recipients is associated with an increased frequency of the VEGF 936 CT genotype and T allele, and that determination of the T allele might be helpful for the identification of recipients with overall good graft survival.
