Abstract Background: Recent studies have described a major impact of the IL28B gene polymorphism on graft survival post liver transplantation. Our study aims to investigate the impact of IL28B of donors and recipients on the natural course and outcome of liver transplantation due to end stage HCV related liver disease. Aim of Study: This study aims to investigate SNP of IL28B gene in Egyptian patients with end stage HCV related liver disease. Correlating the prevalence of IL-28b-alleles with patient and graft survival and with the progression of fibrosis for HCV-induced (graft) liver disease after liver transplantation. Also to correlate IL28B genotype with the outcome after liver transplantation. Patients and Methods: Donor and recipient IL28B rs12979860C>T single nucleotide genotype was determined in 24 patients who had undergone LT for HCV-induced end stage liver disease and received regular follow-up evaluations for two years post liver transplantation. Results: We found that the CC genotype frequency was reduced among patients with HCV related end stage liver disease while, in contrast, the frequency of CT & TT increased. No association was noted between IL 28B polymorphism of donors and recipients regarding fibrosis progression or patient and graft survival, as well as liver outcomes. Conclusions: No impact of IL 28B polymorphism on fibrosis progression, liver outcomes or patient and graft survival.
