In a prospective cohort study, we examined 62 patients undergoing major surgical cancer therapy for Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene polymorphisms (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile) and their influence on cytokine levels pre- and postoperatively, as well as cytokine levels after whole blood lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Incidence of the TLR4 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Asp299Gly/Thr399Ile was 14.5%...
