Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | FRONTIERS MEDIA SA | Source: | Transplant international, 35 (Art N° 10159) | Abstract: | The MUC5B promoter polymorphism (rs35705950) has been associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and with prolonged pre-transplant survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but no information is available regarding its prevalence in other respiratory diseases and its influence on post-transplant outcome. We included the Leuven lung transplantation cohort between 1991 and 2015 (n = 801). We assessed the minor allele frequency (MAF) of the MUC5B variant in the entire study cohort and investigated the influence of recipient MUC5B promoter polymorphism on post-transplant outcome in patients who were transplanted after 2004. MUC5B was successfully genotyped in 746 patients. The MAF was significantly higher in ILD (17.6%) compared to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/emphysema (9.3%), cystic fibrosis (CF)/bronchiectasis (BRECT) (7.5%) and pulmonary hypertension (PHT) (7.4%) (p < 0.001). No association was observed between rs35705950 and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD)/graft loss in the ILD population [CLAD: HR 1.37 95% CI (0.70-2.68); graft loss: HR 1.02 95% CI (0.55-1.89)], nor the entire study cohort [CLAD: HR 0.96 95% CI (0.69-1.34); graft loss: HR 0.97 95% CI (0.70-1.35)]. The MUC5B promoter polymorphism is a very specific predictive factor for the presence of pulmonary fibrosis | Keywords: | Abbreviations: AR, acute rejection;AZA, azathioprine;BRECT, bronchiectasis;CF, cystic fibrosis;cHP, chronic hypersen- sitivity pneumonitis;CI, confidence interval;CLAD, chronic lung allograft dysfunction;CMV, cytomegalovirus;COPD, | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/37746 | ISSN: | 0934-0874 | e-ISSN: | 1432-2277 | DOI: | 10.3389/ti.2022.10159 | ISI #: | 000822657800001 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2023 |
