Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling plays a critical role in orchestrating the innate immune response and the development of sepsis and subsequent organ dysfunction after trauma. The objectives of this prospective study were to identify haplotype tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) within the entire TLR2 gene and to investigate their clinical relevance in patients with major trauma. A total of 410...
