R. T. Sun, Tian, W. J., Xing, X. W., Gao, S. H., and Wang, S. B., Association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to invasive candidiasis, vol. 14, pp. 6859-6864, 2015.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cytokine genes in the susceptibility to Candida infection. A total of 275 consecutive patients diagnosed with Candida infection were selected between May 2010 and May 2011, along with 305 uninfected controls. Genotyping of the IL-1β gene polymorphisms (IL1β) rs1143634, IL1βrs16944, IL8 rs4073, IL10 rs1800872, and IL10 rs1800896 was carried out using a 384-well plate format on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform.
