N2 - CD40 and its ligand, CD154, are major costimulatory molecules whose interactions are important in alloreactive transplant rejection. The aim of this study was to examine the association of CD40 polymorphisms with the susceptibility to acute rejection episodes in liver transplantation. In total, 112 liver transplant recipients with biopsy proven acute rejections (BPAR), 97 without BPAR (WBPAR), and 112 healthy control individuals were enrolled in the study. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CD40 gene (rs1883832 and rs4810485) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-allele specific restriction enzyme analysis (PCR-ASRA). Both SNPs has been tested for a recessive and a dominant model. No significant differences were found in the genotype and allele frequencies of the SNPs rs1883832 and rs4810485 between BPAR liver recipients and WBPAR recipients. Our results do not suggest an important role of tested CD40 SNPs in the susceptibility to acute liver transplant rejection in a Caucasian population.
