Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the central signaling receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mammals. This study was designed to investigate the functional significance of the G11367C polymorphism, which is a novel variant we identified in the 3' untranslated region of TLR4 gene in Chinese Han population. Three hundred seventy healthy volunteers were selected. The TLR4/11367 polymorphism was genotyped using...
