Interleukin-10 (IL-10) 1082 promoter polymorphisms and plasma IL-10 levels in patients with bacterial sepsis

Abstract

Background. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional cytokine which has been seen to play a relevant role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. We examined the association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in IL-10-1082G/A in patients with sepsis in Cali city.
