No statistical association between VDR Taq I polymorphism and sepsis susceptibility were observed under the allelic contrast model (T vs t, P = .05, OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.72–1.00), dominant genetic model (TT vs Tt + tt, P = .07, OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.66–1.02), recessive genetic model (TT + Tt vs tt, P = .16, OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.52–1.11) (Table 3). The gene discussed is VDR; the disease is Sepsis.
