Objective: Current data suggest that individual genetic predisposition may influence the magnitude of cytokine response and the degree of organ dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass. Lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism has been shown to be protective against atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism on cytokine release and early outcome after cardiopulmonary bypass.
