- All sexes
- Adult
Study population: Adult patients with end stage liver disease(ESLD) underwent living donor liver transplantation were recruited from Ain Shams University hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.
Who may be able to join
- Adult Patients with ESLD were subjected to living donor liver transplantation due to different etiologies including hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), portal venous thrombosis (PVT), cryptogenic hepatitis, Primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC), hepatocellular and carcinoma(HCC) were eligible for the study. Recipients received calcineurin inhibitors either tacrolimus or cyclosporine as primary immunosuppressant ± MMF or evorilumus ± MMF immediately after transplantation.
Who cannot join
- Patients were excluded if they had multi-organ transplantation, had previously received a liver transplant, or were receiving an ABO-incompatible transplant.

About this study
Our study aimed at studying the impact of gene polymorphism of NFKBIA and PTPN22 genes on rejection episodes in liver transplant Egyptian recipients. Also assess patients' factors associated with graft rejection.
Read the detailed description
Liver transplantation is considered an effective therapy for severe liver disease, but graft dysfunction occurs in up to 13% of patients during the first year following transplantation, and rises to 35% after 5 years (Keeffe, 1999; Yu et al., 2001). Graft rejection is one of the major immunological complications following liver transplantation (Zheng et al., 2006).
The nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer B-cells inhibitor-alpha (NFKBIA) gene encodes a member of the nuclear factor-kappa-B inhibitor family. Polymorphisms in this gene might be associated with a susceptibility to acute rejection episodes following liver transplantation, as they may cause an increased activation level of the proinflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NFκB).
NFκB translocates to the nucleus and promotes the expression of a panel of genes (Karin and Ben-Neriah, 2000). Some of these, for example interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-12 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha, play an important role in the pathogenesis of allograft rejection and the activation of the immune system in general (Wei and Zheng, 2003).
The protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 gene (PTPN22) encodes a strong T-cell regulator called lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase. Previously, PTPN22 was described as a susceptibility gene for autoimmunity because it contains single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with several autoimmune diseases. One SNP (rs2476601;1858G>A) has emerged as a particularly potent risk factor for autoimmunity. We address the question whether PTPN22 polymorphismsare also associated with acute rejection after liver transplantation. (Dullin et al., 2015).

Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
gene polymorphism (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
