Tacrolimus-induced nephrotoxicity and genetic variability: A review

Limited evidence suggests that variation in genes involved in pharmacokinetics (ABCB1 and CYP3A5) and pharmacodynamics (TGF-β, CYP2C8, ACE, CCR5) of tacrolimus may impact a transplant recipients' risk to develop tacrolimus-induced nephrotoxicity across different transplant organ groups.
