RATIONALE: Death from infection is a highly heritable trait, yet there are few genetic variants with known mechanism influencing survival during septic shock. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that a synonymous coding variant in the IL-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL1RN), rs315952, previously associated with reduced risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome, would be functional and associate with improved survival in...
