Funding information The study was financed by the Military Medical Academy Institutional Grant 06/10/A1 and the Serbian Ministry of education, science and technological development (Grant 175033).

Summary

Association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with sepsis risk and mortality was studied. VDR FokI CC genotype was associated with increased sepsis risk (OR = 13.396, p = .000009) compared to the TT genotype. Results suggest possible role of VDR FokI (rs2228570) as a molecular biomarker of increased sepsis risk.
