Similarly, in the dominant gene model of the IL-8-rs4073 study, the P-values for Asian, European and the global effects were 0.622, 0.937 and 0.713, respectively, which were all greater than 0.05, indicating no association between the IL-8-rs4073 gene polymorphism and neonatal sepsis under the dominant gene model. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is Neonatal sepsis.
