## With the C282Y Mutation in the HFE Gene To the Editor: The association between hereditary hemochromatosis and thalassemia syndrome might lead to a severe iron overload [1,2], but the results are still controversial. By PCR and restriction enzyme digestion [3], we analyzed the C282Y and H63D muta

Infectious complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are a major clinical problem. The lectin pathway of complement activation is liver-derived and a crucial effector of the innate immune defense against pathogens. Polymorphisms in lectin pathway genes determine their functional act
## Abstract The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of __HFE__ gene mutations in the population of the Czech Republic. Altogether, 257 randomly selected newborn screening cards (Guthrie cards) were analyzed for the C282Y and H63D mutations within the __HFE__ gene. Complete results wer
Acute cellular graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) following liver transplantation has an incidence of 1 to 2% and a mortality rate of 85%. Our aim was to identify a patient population at high risk for developing GVHD using a large clinical database to study both recipient and donor factors. We compared o
## Abstract ## Background: ABOβincompatible (ABOβi) liver transplantation (LT) is a highβrisk procedure due to the potential for antibodyβmediated rejection (AMR) and cellβmediated rejection. The aim of the current report is to illustrate the results of a retrospective comparison study on the use
