Role of de novo donor ‐specific anti‐hla antibodies in kidney graft failure: a case‐control study
The role of de novo donor‐specific anti‐HLA antibodies (dnDSA) within the pathways leading to graft failure remains not fully understood. We investigated 56 patients who were transplanted between 2002‐2014 with kidney graft failure (cases), for a possible association of development of dnDSA with graft failure. The 56 patients with failed transplants were matched with 56 patients with a functioning graft at present for the variables deceased or living donor, transplant number, transplant year, recipient age and gender, donor age and gender, dialysis vintage time, transplant induction therapy. All patients had at least...

HFE gene polymorphism defined by sequence ‐based typing of the Brazilian population and a standardized nomenclature for HFE allele sequences
The HFE molecule controls iron uptake from gut, and defects in the molecule have been associated with iron overload, particularly in hereditary hemochromatosis. The HFE gene including both coding and boundary intronic regions were sequenced in 304 Brazilian individuals, encompassing healthy individuals and patients exhibiting hereditary or acquired iron overload. Six sites of variation were detected: (1) H63D C>G in exon 2, (2) IVS2 (+4) T>C in intron 2, (3) a C>G transversion in intron 3, (4) C282Y G>A in exon 4, (5) IVS4 (−44) T>C in intron 4, and (6) a new guanine deletion (G>del) in intron 5, which ...
