Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR1 are associated with mortality, specifically sepsis-associated mortality, in a traumatically injured population. BACKGROUND: Innate immune responses mediated by toll-like receptors (TLRs) induce early inflammatory responses to pathogen and damage-associated molecular patterns. Genetic variation in TLRs has been associated with...
