Human leukocyte antigen-G single nucleotide polymorphism -201 (CC-CC) donor-recipient genotype matching as a predictor of severe cardiac allograft vasculopathy

Background In heart transplant recipients, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G has been shown to inhibit endothelial and smooth muscle cells injury in vitro , suggesting protection against cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). While the expression of HLA-G is regulated by single nucleotide polymorphisms...
