PG - 2383-7 LID - 10.1016/j.transproceed.2011.06.014 [doi] AB - Patient genetic make-up may contribute to a higher risk for acute rejection episodes (AREs). Because interleukin-2 (IL2) and IL2 receptor beta (IL2RB) play key roles in immune modulation, we investigated the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL2 gene (rs2069762; T>G, promoter; and rs2069763; G>T, exon 1, Leu38Leu) and IL2RB gene (rs228942: C>A, exon 1, Asp391Glu; and rs228953: C>T, exon 8, Gly250Gly) on renal ARE risk in 61 ARE patients and 276 control renal allograft recipients in Korea. The genotype frequencies of the IL2 and IL2RB SNPs showed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both ARE and control groups. No significant difference in the genotype frequencies of the 2 IL2 SNPs was detected between non-ARE and ARE subjects (P > .05). The occurrence of AREs was significantly associated with genetic variants of the IL2RB gene (rs228942: odds ratio [OR] 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-3.74; P = .0096, dominant model; rs228953: OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.04-2.38; P = .029, codominant model). In the haplotype-based analysis, the AC haplotype of IL2RB (chi(2) = 4.738; P = .0295) showed associations with ARE. Our results demonstrate that genetic variants of IL2RB may be associated with the development of AREs and may help predict ARE risk in kidney transplantation patients.
