Background & Aims: Fatty liver disease is an important complication associated with liver transplantation, and the cytochrome P-450 system of the donor liver may be involved in its pathogenesis. To explore the effects of the CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP2R1, and vitamin D receptor pathways on vitamin D maintenance after living donor liver transplantation, we investigated the interplay between serum 25(OH)D and common variants in 60 paired donors and recipients who underwent living donor liver transplantation.
Methods: We prospectively collected 60 donor/recipient pairs from our liver transplantation programmes and extracted serum DNA to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP27A1 rs4674344, CYP27B1 rs10877012, CYP2R1 rs10741657, and VDR rs2228530 alleles using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
