Popis: HLA-DQB2 is a gene of limited polymorphism, with unknown function that presents at least two transcript variants: v1, which encodes the full-length beta-chain, and v2, which lacks exon 4 and could give rise to a soluble protein. We previously showed a strong correlation between high v2 expression in preimplantation biopsies (PIB) of kidneys from young (18- to 49-year olds) but not from old, deceased donors and 1-year posttransplant low (estimated glomerular filtration rate 45 ml/min/1.73 m
