Influence of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene promoter-1195 and allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) polymorphisms on allograft outcome in Hispanic kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract excerpt

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) alleles have been associated with allograft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients; however, these alleles may be in linkage with other genes. Human allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) is a cytoplasmic protein and is produced by macrophages. Its synthesis is regulated by several cytokines, including interferon gamma. We investigated whether polymorphisms of gene encoding COX-2 and...
