Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to identify the dependency structure of genetic variants that can influence the outcome for paediatric patients with sepsis. METHODS: We evaluated the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms for five genes: bactericidal permeability increasing protein (BPI; rs5743507), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP; rs2232618), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4; rs4986790), heat shock...
