Abstract excerpt
Host genes define the severity of inflammation and immunity but specific loci doing so are unknown. Here we show that TNF receptor superfamily member 13B (TNFRSF13B) variants, which enhance defense against certain pathogens, also control immune-mediated injury of transplants, by regulating innate B cells' functions. Analysis of TNFRSF13B in human kidney transplant recipients revealed that 33% of those with...
