(71) demonstrated diplotypes GTTTGT/GGTCGT and GTTTGT/GGTCGA [corresponding to FCN2 3’UTR polymorphisms: rs7851696 (G>T), rs4521835 (T>G), rs73664188 (T>C), rs11103564 (T>C), rs11103565 (G>A) and rs6537959 (T>A)] to be risk factors for early onset infections (EOI) in preterm babies. This evidence concerns the gene FCN2 and infection.
