Abstract

Several genetic polymorphisms have been identified in patients with sepsis and severe sepsis, such as the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and TNF-beta genes, the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, the IL-6, the IL-10, the CD-14, the Toll-like receptors, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, and the factor V 1691G-A mutations. In this study, the relationship between the TNF-alpha 308G/A, the IL-6-174 G/C, the PAI-1, the FVL, the EPCR, and the Cathepsin G (Ars 125 Ser) polymorphisms and the development and outcome of sepsis in pediatric patients was studied. TNF-alpha 308 G/A, PAI-1 4G/4G, and EPCR mutations influence the risk of severe sepsis in children. IL-6 174 G/C, FVL, and Cathepsin G (Ars 125 Ser) did not influence the incidence and mortality of severe sepsis.
