International audience. KiT-GENIE is a monocentric DNA biobank set up to consolidate the very rich and homogeneous DIVAT French cohort of kidney donors and recipients (D/R) in order to explore the molecular factors involved in kidney transplantation outcomes. We collected DNA samples for kidney transplantations performed in Nantes, and we leveraged GWAS genotyping data for securing high-quality genetic data with deep SNP and HLA annotations through imputations and for inferring D/R genetic ancestry. Overall, the biobank included 4217 individuals (n = 1945 D + 2,272 R, including 1969 D/R pairs), 7.4 M SNPs and over 200 clinical variables. KiT-GENIE represents an accurate snapshot of kidney transplantation clinical practice in Nantes between 2002 and 2018, with an enrichment in living kidney donors (17%) and recipients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (4%). Recipients were predominantly male (63%), of European ancestry (93%), with a mean age of 51yo and 86% experienced their first graft over the study period. D/R pairs were 93% from European ancestry, and 95% pairs exhibited at least one HLA allelic mismatch. The mean follow-up time was 6.7 years with a hindsight up to 25 years. Recipients experienced biopsy-proven rejection and graft loss for 16.6% and 21.3%, respectively. KiT-GENIE constitutes one of the largest kidney transplantation genetic cohorts worldwide to date. It includes homogeneous high-quality clinical and genetic data for donors and recipients, hence offering a unique opportunity to investigate immunogenetic and genetic factors, as well as donor-recipient interactions and mismatches involved in rejection, graft survival, primary disease recurrence and other comorbidities.
