Genomic polymorphisms in sepsis

Lin, Mark T., Albertson, Timothy E.·2004·Critical Care Medicine

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This article aims to review all relevant genetic polymorphism studies that may contribute to the pathogenesis of sepsis with emphasis on polymorphisms of the innate immunity, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and coagulation mediators. DATA SOURCE: Published articles reporting on studies of associations between genetic polymorphisms, sepsis, septic shock, and other relevant infectious disease models. DATA ANALYSIS: Research into the pathogenesis of sepsis has led to the development of many potential therapeutic strategies. Several therapeutic agents and treatment modalities have been shown to decrease mortality rates in large, prospective, and randomized clinical trials. However, although these advances have resulted in improved survival for certain patient populations, the overall mortality rate for septic patients remains high. With the rapid development of molecular and genetic techniques, substantial interests have developed in using genomic information to define disease-mediating genetic variants in sepsis. Combined with microarray technology, it is anticipated in the near future that one will be able to tailor drug selection and dosage and predict outcome by correlating genetic profile with disease presentation. Numerous genetic association studies in sepsis have already been reported and more are likely to be published. CONCLUSIONS: Although studies examined in this review are of small heterogeneous populations, the identification of strong associations between certain genetic polymorphisms and increased mortality rate or susceptibility to severe sepsis is intriguing and supports further research using this approach. The establishment of these associations does not equal causation, and further research is required in both genetic and molecular aspect of sepsis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
