Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the Pstl polymorphism of the endotoxin-inducible heat-shock protein 70-2 gene affect messenger RNA level in human whole-blood cultures?
Answer: The PstI polymorphism of the endotoxin-inducible HSP70-2 gene is not associated with variable HSP70-2 mRNA expression ex vivo. This finding is in accordance with the observation that HSP70-2 genotypes do not affect clinical outcome in human systemic inflammation.
Output (English): no
