Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The goal of the study was to evaluate a potential role for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) genetic variability as biomarker in sepsis. In particular, we aimed to determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TNF-α gene are associated with sepsis in terms of risk, severity and outcome. METHODS: We performed a prospective study on 163 adult critically ill septic patients (septic shock 65,...
