In liver transplant (LTX) recipients, an association has been demonstrated between the presence of mismatch for glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) and the development of de novo immune hepatitis (IH).
The identification of antibodies directed to glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) in the sera of patients with de novo immune hepatitis led us to the description of an alloimmune reaction due to a GSTT1 genetic incompatibility between donor and recipient.
