Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study hypothesizes that predicted polymorphism of the interferon-gamma receptor 1 gene may play an important role in infection after trauma as supported by microsatellite analysis. METHODS: DNA was extracted from the peripheral leukocytes of 38 trauma patients with Injury Severity Scores greater than 16. D6S471, a microsatellite marker on chromosome 6 near interferon-gamma receptor 1, was...
