Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytokine response plays a vital role in various human lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infectious and inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to find genetic variants that might affect the levels of LPS-induced interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1ra and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α cytokine production. METHODS: We performed an initial genome-wide association study using Affymetrix Human Mapping 500 K...
