Glutathione S-Transferase M1 Gene Polymorphism Is Associated with Susceptibility to Impaired Long-term Allograft Outcomes in Renal Transplant Recipients

Background Despite improved post-transplantation care, progress in long-term kidney allograft survival of diabetic renal transplant recipients (pre-DM RTR) is worse than that of non-diabetic recipients (non-DM). We hypothesized that there are other potential risk factors, that predispose RTR to adverse renal allograft outcomes.
