GENETIC FACTORS OF SEPSIS IN CHILDREN

The genetic fi ngerprint holds a major relevance in the apparition, evolution and prognosis of infections. The paper focuses on polymorphisms for one nucleotide (SNPs) of the genes which encode proteins with the main role in recognizing pathogens (Toll-like receptors: TLR2, TLR4, TLR5) or in the i...
