Abstract excerpt
Background: The aquaporin 5 (AQP5) -1364A/C promoter single nucleotide polymorphism affects key mechanisms of inflammation and immune cell migration. Thus, it could be involved in the pathogenesis of cytomegalovirus infection. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that the AQP5 promoter -1364A/C polymorphism is associated with the risk of cytomegalovirus infection in kidney transplantation recipients. Methods: We...
