GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SEPSIS: GENETICALLY DETERMINED?

2000-09-01

Abstract excerpt

In the pathogenesis of sepsis, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) release and host reaction may be genetically determined as demonstrated for TNFβ Ncol polymorphism. Gender differences are considered as another important prognostic variable in patients with sepsis with better survival for women. The effect of sexual dimorphism on the genetic background of sepsis, however, is unknown. In a prospective study at two univers...
