Abstract excerpt
In this study, the impact of polymorphisms in the genes of proinflammatory (IL-β, TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ), anti-inflammatory (transforming growth factor [TGF]-β, IL-10, IL-Ra), and other immunoregulatory factors (FcγRIIa, NOS3) along with the conventional risk factors on the rate of hematopoietic recovery and first episodes of bacterial, viral, or invasive fungal infections in 102 patients with β-thalassaemia major...
