Functional polymorphisms of interferon-gamma affect pneumonia-induced sepsis.

<h4>Objective</h4>Sepsis is an inflammatory syndrome caused by infection, and both its incidence and mortality are high. Because interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) plays an important role in inflammation, this work assessed IFN-γ single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that may be associated with se...
