Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes alter susceptibility to bacterial infections and modulate white blood cell (WBC) counts during infections in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight <1500 g). STUDY DESIGN: VLBW infants recruited in a multicenter study were genotyped for nine functional TLR SNPs and associations between SNPs...
