Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms may confer susceptibility to immunologically mediated liver diseases. We aimed to verify whether recipient VDR polymorphisms might affect the incidence of acute cellular rejection (ACR) of the graft after liver transplantation (LT). Two hundred and fifty-one liver-transplanted patients surviving at least 1month were studied. ACR in the first post-LT year was graded according...
