The factors that influence development of pneumococcal sepsis remain poorly understood although increasing evidence points towards a role for genetic variation in the host s immune response. Recent insights from the study of animal models rare human primary immunodeficiency states and population-based genetic epidemiology have focused attention on the role of the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kD in pneumococcal disease pathogenesis. The possible role of genetic variation in the atypical NF-kD inhibitor IkD-R encoded by NFKBIL2 in susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease has not to our knowledge previously been reported upon. Methods An association study was performed examining the frequencies of nine common NFKBIL2 polymorphisms in two invasive pneumococcal disease case-control groups European individuals from hospitals in Oxfordshire UK 275 patients and 733 controls and African individuals from Kilifi District Hospital Kenya 687 patients with bacteraemia of which 173 patients had pneumococcal disease together with 550 controls . Results Five polymorphisms significantly associated with invasive pneumococcal disease susceptibility in the European study of which two polymorphisms also associated with disease in African individuals. .
