(Table 5) However, an obvious association was found between sepsis-related mortality and CD14-159C/T polymorphism in Asian subgroup in allele frequency, additive model and dominant model (C versus T: OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.31–0.92, p = 0.02; CC versus TT: OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.14–1.11, p = 0.08; TC versus TT : OR = 0.31, 95% CI 0.13–0.76, p = 0.009; CC + CT versus TT: OR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.16–0.74, p = 0.007), In Caucasian populations, association was identified only in TC versus TT (OR = 1.67, 95% CI .08–2.59, p = 0.02) (Fig. 4). Here, CD14 is linked to Sepsis.
