The aim of this thesis is to identify polymorphisms in cytokine genes as factors involved in the regulation of cytokine production and the pathogenesis of acute rejection after liver transplantation. This may not only lead to better understanding of the mechanism of rejection, but may also result in the construction of a genetic profile that gives clinicians guidance on the adjustment of immunosuppressive therapy to the individual needs of liver transplant patients.
