Abstract:Background: Genetic analysis in transplantation offers potential for personalized medicine. Given the crucial role of the complement system in renal allograft injury, we investigated in kidney transplant pairs the impact of complement polymorphisms on long-term outcomes. Methods: In this observational cohort study, we analyzed polymorphisms in C3 (C3R102G), factor B (CFBR32Q), and factor H (CFHV62I) genes of 1,271 donor-recipient kidney transplant pairs and assessed their association with 15-year death-censore… Show more
