Genetic variation of the human urinary tract innate immune response and asymptomatic bacteriuria in women.

Genetic variation of the human urinary tract innate immune response and asymptomatic bacteriuria in women.

BACKGROUND:Although several studies suggest that genetic factors are associated with human UTI susceptibility, the role of DNA variation in regulating early in vivo urine inflammatory responses has not been fully examined. We examined whether candidate gene polymorphisms were associated with altered...
