Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) represent important genetic risk factors for susceptibility to posttraumatic sepsis and a potential target for immunotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the association between 8 different SNVs within tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFA), lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) and Toll-like receptor (TLR2 and TLR4) genes and the risk of posttraumatic sepsis. METHODS: Nested case-control...
