Fc gamma-binding protein variant is linked to poor outcomes in lung transplant patients

Caption

Researchers from Pusan National University have identified a gene variant encoding Fc gamma-binding protein (FCGBP), associated with a higher risk of organ rejection, infection, and poor clinical outcomes in patients with lung transplants. Screening for FCGBP can help identify high-risk patients and enable timely personalized treatments.
