Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell-death 1 (PDCD1) are two genes encoding coinhibitory immunoreceptors that are involved in regulation transplant rejection and tolerance induction. Thus, CTLA-4 and PDCD1 may be good candidate genes to evaluate in liver transplant rejection. In this retrospective study, we investigated whether four functional single nucleotide polymorphisms...
