Abstract
Methods and kits for detecting polymorphism that are predictive of a subject's susceptibility to developing sepsis are described.
Claims8
A method for determining a subject's susceptibility to developing sepsis or the rapidity or ultimate progression of sepsis in the subject, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining a nucleic acid sample from the subject;
- and
- b) detecting at least one allele of an IL-1 proinflammatory haplotype in said sample,
- wherein detection at least one allele of an IL-1 proinfiammatory haplotype indicates that the patient has an increased susceptibility to developing sepsis.
1 more element
A kit for determining a subject's susceptibility to developing sepsis, said kit comprising a first primer that hybridizes 5′ or 3′ to an allele of an IL-1 proinfiammatory haplotype
