Abstract excerpt
Previous studies demonstrated significant roles of autophagy in the pathogenesis of sepsis, but few studies focused on the effect of autophagy-related SNPs on sepsis susceptibility. In this present study, five polymorphisms of ATG5/ATG16L1 were investigated for the possible risk on sepsis in a Chinese Han population. Our results showed that ATG5 expression levels decreased with the severity of sepsis, and...
