Hepatitis C-related liver failure is the leading indication for liver transplantation worldwide. Although histologic recurrence is identified in the majority of patients, the spectrum of allograft injury is wide. To date, most studies have focused on the contribution of immunosuppression and viral factors. We hypothesized that the allograft plays a significant role in determining timing and severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurrence. The purpose of this analysis was to determine if genetic polymorphisms of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus were associated with the highly variable severity of HCV recurrence.
