Abstract excerpt
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is one of the main causes of graft loss in renal transplantation. Polymorphisms with functional significance in the promoter and coding regions of cytokine genes have been suggested as a possible factor for graft rejection. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cytokine gene polymorphism of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines on development of CAN in a group of...
