Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a significant burden of disease worldwide and outcomes vary widely. Current prognostic tools fail to fully account for this variability despite incorporating clinical, radiographic, and biochemical data. This variance could possibly be explained by genotypic differences in the patient population. In this review, we explore single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
