The importance of genetic and biochemical variation in renal transplant outcomes has been clear since the discovery of the HLA in the 1950s. Since that time, there have been huge advancements in both transplantation and omics. In recent years, there has seen an increased number of genome-, proteome- and transcriptome-wide studies in the field of transplantation moving away from the earlier candidate gene/protein approaches. These areas have the potential to lead to the development of personalized treatment depending on individual molecular risk profiles. Here, we discuss recent progress and the current literature surrounding omics and renal transplant complications., (© 2017 Steunstichting ESOT.)
