Abstract

A method for identifying the risk of developing Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (CAN) in a patient that received a kidney transplant from a donor which comprises identifying the race of the donor; determining the levels of SHROOM 3 expression in a kidney biopsy specimen obtained from the patient at a predetermined time after transplant; comparing the level of SHROOM 3 expression in the biopsy specimen with the levels of SHROOM 3 expression in a control; determining if the level of SHROOM 3 expression in the allograft is significantly higher than in the control, and diagnosing the patient as being at risk for CAN if the level of SHROOM 3 expression in the specimen is significantly higher than in the control.
