Intragraft gene expression in native kidney BK virus nephropathy versus T cell–mediated rejection: Prospects for molecular diagnosis and risk prediction
Novel tools are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy and risk prediction in BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). We assessed the utility of intragraft gene expression testing for these purposes. Eight hundred genes were measured in 110 archival samples, including a discovery cohort of native kidney BKVN (n...

Zusammenfassung: | Novel tools are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy and risk prediction in BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). We assessed the utility of intragraft gene expression testing for these purposes. Eight hundred genes were measured in 110 archival samples, including a discovery cohort of native kidney BKVN (n = 5) vs pure T cell–mediated rejection (TCMR; n = 10). Five polyomavirus genes and seven immune‐related genes (five associated with BKVN and two associated with TCMR) were significantly differentially expressed between these entities (FDR |
