Over 66,000 transplants have been performed in Brazil since 2005 giving them a new chance in life although many thousands more die on the organ transplant waiting list. Any increase in the length in the life-time of a transplanted organ reduces re-transplantation rates and frees up the precious gift-of-life of a potential suitable organ for those on the waiting list. iGeneTRAiN, an international consortium of over 20 transplant genetic studies encompassing over 32,000 samples, is aiming to reduce these issues. Our goals are to discovery of genetic variants that lead or contribute to rejection and other complications of transplantations, and to expand biomarkers found in urine and blood samples that may predict rejection weeks or months before patients show symptoms. We are poised to translate these discoveries into individualized patient treatments but we need your help.
