title: The influence of class II transactivator and interleukin-6 polymorphisms on the production of antibodies to donor human leucocyte antigen mismatches in renal allograft recipients.
abstract: The influence of polymorphisms in the CIITA and IL-6 genes on donor-specific human leucocyte antigen antibody production was investigated in a cohort of renal transplant recipients and their donors. CIITA and IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphisms were found to be associated with donor-specific human leucocyte antigen antibody production post-transplantation.
