The Interferon-Gamma +874 A/T Polymorphism Is Not Associated With CMV Infection After Kidney Transplantation

In conclusion, the IFNG +874 polymorphism is not a predictive marker of CMV infection. The protective effect of imTOR is not improved with prophylaxis. Interestingly, the thymoglobulin therapy associated with prophylaxis is not a risk factor for CMV infection, and prophylaxis is not effective in recipients with no high-risk CMV status and without thymoglobulin therapy.
