Bench-to-bedside review: genetic influences on meningococcal disease.

Critical care (London, England) - 1 Feb 2002

Vermont Clementien L, de Groot Ronald, Hazelzet Jan A

Abstract excerpt

This review discusses the possible involvement of a variety of genetic polymorphisms on the course of meningococcal disease. It has been shown that several common genetic polymorphisms can either influence the susceptibility to meningococcal disease or can account for a higher mortality rate in patients. Gene polymorphisms concerning antibody receptors, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding receptors or proteins,...
