| Özet |
| The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation of Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) 14 bp ins/del (insertion/deletion) polymorphism and soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) level with rejection in kidney transplant recipients. The study was planned as a case-control study involving two hundred fifty kidney transplant recipients. The case group consisted of 125 (female/male: 56/69) kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with acute (n = 52) and chronic rejection (n = 73). The control group consisted of one hundred twenty-five kidney transplant patients with no acute or chronic rejection matched by gender and age in the case group. The sHLA-G level in the recipient's plasma (at the time of rejection for the case, the same time as the case after the transplant for control) was analyzed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). HLA-G 3 ' untranslated region (3 ' UTR) polymorphism of recipient and donor was determined using agarose gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing method. In our study, it was shown that acute rejection rate increased 1.06 times and chronic rejection rate increased 1.14 times in kidney transplant recipients with low serum sHLA-G levels. The rejection patients with the HLA-G 14 bp del/del genotype had higher sHLA-G levels post-transplantation. The frequency of acute rejection was lower in patients with HLA-G 14 bp del/del polymorphism than those with ins/ins and ins/del polymorphisms. This study proposes that HLA-G 3 ' UTR polymorphism and sHLA-G level might be useful in prediction of rejection in kidney transplant recipients. |
