Genetic variation in interleukin-17 receptor A is functionally associated with chronic rejection after lung transplantation [1]

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 2014-01-07 06:54

The aim of this genetic study conducted on a large lung transplant population is to demonstrate the relationship between some genetic variants of IL-17 and IL-23 and the risk of development of chronic allograft rejection. This association could lead to new ways of prevention and treatment.
