Combined association of recipient killer cell immunoglobulin-like haplotype AA and donor HLA- C*07 gene with BK virus associated nephropathy in kidney transplant patients
Kidney transplant recipient killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) genotype and HLA-C status of their donors have been separately associated with BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and BK virus infection. Our aim was to determine whether different combinations of recipients KIR genes and donor HLAC ligands influence the risk of BKVAN. Retrospective case- control study included 23 recipients with BKVAN and 46 recipients with persistently negative BK virus. Donor HLA-C*07 positivity was associated with lower odds for BKVAN, recipients bearing KIR haplotype AA or lacking any activating KIR genes were more frequent in BKVAN while recipient/donor combination HLA-C*07 negative/KIR AA positive was significantly associated with BKVAN. Our study complements and confirms results from several previously published studies, suggesting potential clinical usefulness.
