Cytokine promoter polymorphisms in severe sepsis.

Abstract excerpt

The need to develop individualized risk profiles and drug therapy regimens motivates interest in genetic studies of critically ill patients. Gene promoter variants may predict interindividual variability in response to inflammatory stimuli, such as infection and trauma. Genomic variations also may affect gene expression profiles, as well as the structure and production of proteins. The genes involved in...
