Short (GT)n Microsatellite Repeats in the Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene Promoter Are Associated with Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Status in Mexican Pediatric Patients with Sepsis

An adequate immune and antioxidant response is a key to the resolution of sepsis. Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) is a stress protein with a polymorphic (GT)n repeat in its gene promoter that regulates its expression in response to oxidative injury, such as that present in sepsis. HMOX1 is the rate-limitin...
