Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes serious complications among solid organ transplant recipients. We report the positive correlation between the presence of the HLA-E*01:03 allele in living-donor kidney recipients and CMV reactivation during the first year after transplantation. Thus, HLA-E genotyping may help identify CMV replication-prone patients who require individualized patient-based CMV management.
