Abstract excerpt
Caveolin-1 is a protein (encoded by the CAV1 gene) supposedly harboring a protective effect against fibrosis. CAV1 rs4730751 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) AA genotype was initially associated with lower graft survival compared to non-AA. However, subsequent studies could not find the same effect. CAV1 rs4730751 SNP was investigated on 918 kidney donors. Multivariate Cox-model analyses were performed to...
