Abstract excerpt
Objective: To study the association of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and plasma TGF-β1 levels with susceptibility to sepsis. Methods: The genotypes of the TGF-β1 gene rs1800469, rs1800468, rs1800470, and rs1800471 loci in 285 sepsis patients (119 patients with severe sepsis and 166 patients with mild sepsis) and 285 healthy individuals (control group) were...
