Genetic variation in pro-inflammatory cytokines and meningococcal sepsis.

Current opinion in infectious diseases - 1 Jun 2010

Deasy Alice, Read Robert C

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pro-inflammatory cytokines are an essential component of host defence in patients who are susceptible to meningococcal disease. This review summarizes what is currently known about genetic variations in genes encoding these defensive proteins and focuses on recent work investigating the potential role polymorphisms may play insusceptibility and severity of the disease. RECENT FINDINGS: A...
