Association of polymorphisms in leptin and adiponectin genes with long-term outcomes in renal transplant recipients

The effect of polymorphims in leptin and adiponectin genes on long-term outcomes of renal transplantation is unknown. In 349 renal transplant recipients (RTR), we aimed to determine associations between five SNPs in the leptin receptor ( LEPR ) and adiponectin ( ADIPOQ ) genes and these outcomes. Fo...

Description
Summary:The effect of polymorphims in leptin and adiponectin genes on long-term outcomes of renal transplantation is unknown. In 349 renal transplant recipients (RTR), we aimed to determine associations between five SNPs in the leptin receptor ( LEPR ) and adiponectin ( ADIPOQ ) genes and these outcomes. Follow-up time ranged from 2 to 25 years (mean 10.29 ± 5.16 years). Two SNPs showed associations with long-term outcomes and their statistical significance greatly increased after 39 RTR with a history of cardiovascular events prior to transplantation were removed from the analysis. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) for LEPR rs1805094 and ADIPOQ rs1501299 and risk of graft loss were 0.35 (0.16–0.74) p  = 0.006 and 2.37 (1.28–4.37) p  = 0.006, respectively. The assessment of risk for global mortality revealed OR values of 0.20 (0.06–0.62), p  = 0.005, and 2.43 (1.08–5.44), p  = 0.031 for LEPR rs1805094 and ADIPOQ rs1501299, respectively. Our results show that polymorphism in genes involved in leptin and adiponectin function modify long-term outcomes in renal transplantation.
