Impact of CD 28, CD86, CTLA-4 and PD-1 genes polymorphisms on acute renal allograft rejection and graft survival among Egyptian recipients.

ABSTRACT: To study the impact of four gene polymorphisms on acute renal allograft rejection (AR) and graft survival among Egyptian population. These 4 gene polymorphisms include: (1) CD 28 (rs3116496), (2) CD86 (rs1129055), (3) CTLA-4 (rs3087243), (4) PD-1 (rs2227982). This is a non-concurrent cohort study including 50 kidney transplant recipients diagnosed histopathologically as (AR) [study group] and another 50 matched allograft recipients without AR [control group]. Blood samples were taken from both groups and subjected to genotyping for the selected four genetic polymorphisms by TaqMan genotyping assay. The difference in genotypic distribution of CD 28: rs3116496 and CD86: rs1129055 wasn't statistically significant between the study and control groups (P = 0.22 and 0.33 respectively) and also b
