Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) is a central regulators of innate immune response as it interacts with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and also with endogenous molecules, such as heat-shock proteins and fibrinogen. Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms, A896G (Asp299Gly) and C1196T (Thr399Ile), have been found in the exon 3 of human TLR4 gene, which lead to structure alteration of the...
