Genetic Risk for Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Humans: A Systematic Review

Table 3

Comparison of the gene expression of patients with recurrent urinary tract infection and controls. (CXCR: IL-8 receptors; MyD88: myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88; SIGIRR: single immunoglobulin domain-containing IL-1 receptor–related molecule; TLR: Toll-like receptor; TRAM: TIR domain–containing adaptor inducing IFN-β-related adaptor molecule; TRIF: TIR domain–containing adaptor inducing INF-β).
