Abstract excerpt
In adult postoperative intensive care patients, the biallelic Ncol polymorphism within the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus has been shown to be a genomic marker for individuals with increased TNF-alpha response and poor prognosis in severe sepsis. We characterized the genomic distribution and allele frequency of the Ncol polymorphism in 23 preterm and term neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients with...
