APOC2 and necrotizing enterocolitis: Elevated amyloid A levels and reduced apolipoprotein C2 levels (197.1 μg/mL and 29.9 μg/mL, respectively) were observed in VLBWIs with sepsis or NEC compared to their healthy peers (32.7 μg/mL and 49.7 μg/mL, respectively) [17], although these biomarkers did not discriminate between NEC and nonabdominal sepsis [13,18].
