Challenges in understanding host genetics and severity of community-acquired pneumonia

Jordi Solé-Violán et al. ERJ Open Res. .

Abstract

This study found no association of the top two associated FER variants with severity of community-acquired pneumonia. Precise characterisation of phenotypes may be required in order to unravel the genetic mechanisms predisposing to poor outcome in sepsis. https://bit.ly/3jc9SmR.
