Post-transplant liver fibrosis (PTLF) is a common and severe complication in liver recipients. In this study, we assessed the impact of donor liver genetics on the development of PTLF. A total of 232 patients undergoing liver transplantation were included. Twenty-two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with liver fibrosis were analyzed. Univariate analysis revealed seven donor SNPs to be associated with PTLF. In a multivariate analysis, independent risk factors of PTLF were genetic ...[more]
