ABSTRACT
The killer cell lectin-like receptor B1 (KLRB1) gene encodes for CD161 expressed by different subsets of leukocytes involved in the development of acute liver transplant rejection. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 503T>C (rs1135816) in the KLRB1 gene represents a missense mutation modifying functional properties of CD161. The aim of our study is to determine whether the SNP 503T>C is associated with acute liver transplant rejection. We genotyped the SNP for 163 liver recipients without acute rejection, 125 recipients with a single acute rejection, and 53 recipients with multiple acute rejections. The genotype frequencies within the groups did not show any significant difference. Our data suggest that the SNP 503T>C has no impact on the susceptibility of acute liver transplant rejection.
