AR, acute rejection; IQ, interquartile range; CMV, cytomegalovirus.

a

One patient was not characterized for exon 21.

b

Some patients with more than one event.

c

Primary CMV infection was defined by the presence of viral antigenemia in recipients without evidence of previous viral exposure (negative serology) at transplantation who received a graft from a seropositive donor.

d

CMV reactivation was defined by the presence of viral antigenemia in recipients with evidence of previous viral exposure (positive serology) at transplantation.

e

P < 0.05,

f

P < 0.01 versus GG (exon 21) or CC (exon 26) genotype.
