Glucocorticoid pathway polymorphisms and diabetes after kidney transplantation.

Aims: To find possible associations between new-onset diabetes after transplantation and polymorphisms in glucocorticoid pathway.

Materials And Methods: A total of 290 patients from our national cohort of kidney transplant patients with functioning graft transplanted in 6 consecutive years (2010 - 2015) were included in the study. All patients were genotyped for polymorphisms in genes coding for glucocorticoid receptor ( rs33389, rs6198 and rs33388), P-glycoprotein ( rs1045642, rs1128503, and rs2032582), and glutathione S-transferase P1 ( rs1695 and rs1138272).
