“…In this situation, the clinical outcome depends to a great extent on the patients' genetics. Many studies have demonstrated the importance of underlying genetics in modulating the sepsis phenotype [7,[17][18][19][20][21], and Sorensen et al established the inheritance pattern of those predisposed to mortality due to infectious disease [37]. This is one of the reasons we decided to evaluate certain polymorphisms in this study.…”

“…In fact, many publications focused their attention on using the plasma levels of certain factors, such as protein C (PC), procalcitonin, TNF-, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), as prognostic markers [14][15][16]. Other publications have investigated specific genetic polymorphisms in candidate genes [7,10,[17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Severity and mortality of MD was associated with IL6-174 G/G and IL10-1082 A/A, but not with LTA þ 252, TNF-308, IL10-592, or IL1b SNPs. 126 Significant associations of cytokine genes with susceptibility to meningococcal infections are summarized in Table 1.…”
