Abstract excerpt
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal inflammatory disease in neonates, particularly in preterm infants. The interleukin (IL) 23/IL17 axis has been shown to play an important role in the gastrointestinal inflammation. However, the association of gene polymorphisms in the IL23/IL17 axis and the development of NEC remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore a possible genetic role of...
