Abstract excerpt
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a cascade of apoptotic-related events that include BCL2 expression, a pro-survival protein in the apoptosis pathway. The purpose of this study was to use tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (tSNP) genotypes to screen the BCL2 gene to determine if genetic variability in the BCL2 gene influences outcomes in 205 patients with severe TBI. Outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale [GOS],...
