Abstract excerpt
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated response to an infection that is common among patients with moderate to severe burn injury. Previously, genomic variants in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a key innate immunity receptor, have been associated with sepsis and infection susceptibility. In this study, the association of six TLR4 SNPs with sepsis after burn injury was...
