AQP5-1364A/C Polymorphism Affects AQP5 Promoter Methylation

Abstract excerpt

The quantity of aquaporin 5 protein in neutrophil granulocytes is associated with human sepsis-survival. The C-allele of the aquaporin (AQP5)-1364A/C polymorphism was shown to be associated with decreased AQP5 expression, which was shown to be relevant in this context leading towards improved outcomes in sepsis. To date, the underlying mechanism of the C-allele—leading to lower AQP5 expression—has been unknown....
