    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND & AIMS: IL28B single nucleotide polymorphisms are strongly associated with spontaneous HCV clearance and treatment response in non-transplant populations. A DDX58 single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with the antiviral response of innate lymphocytes. We aimed at evaluating the associations of donor and recipient IL28B (rs12979860 and rs8099917) and DDX58 (rs10813831) genotypes with severity of HCV recurrence after liver transplantation. METHODS: In a case-control study of 523 liver transplantation recipients with HCV, we matched severe with mild recurrent HCV based on 2-year clinical and histologic follow-up. A total of 440 liver transplantation recipients (severe, n=235; mild, n=205) with recipient DNA and 225 (severe, n=123; mild, n=102) with both recipient and donor DNA were analyzed. RESULTS: IL28B [rs12979860, non-CC (vs. CC) and rs8099917, non-TT (vs. TT)] in the recipient-only analysis had higher risk of severe recurrent HCV [OR 1.57 and 1.58, p<0.05]. However, for the 225 with donor and recipient DNA, IL28B rs12979860 CC (vs. non-CC) and rs8099917 TT (vs. non-TT) and DDX58 rs10813831 non-GG (vs. GG) were associated with more (not less) severe recurrent HCV. The greatest risk of severe recurrent HCV was for rs12979860 CC donors in non-CC recipients (OR 7.02, p <0.001, vs. non-CC donor/recipient) and for rs8099917 TT donors in non-TT recipients (OR 5.78, p=0.001, vs. non-TT donor/recipient). These associations persisted after controlling for donor age, donor race, and donor risk index. CONCLUSIONS: IL28B and DDX58 single nucleotide polymorphisms that are favorable when present in the non-transplant setting or in the recipient are unfavorable when present in a donor liver graft.
