Among them, 20 patients were classified as severe group, which were identified by their admissions to intensive care units or deaths from SARS (mean ± SD age = 39.45 ± 12.8, 11 male and 9 female). After correction by Bonferroni method, the significant P value should be less than 0.007 This study showed that RANTES -28 G allele was a risk factor that associated with severe clinical outcomes in both Hong Kong and Beijing Chinese SARS patients.	./cache/cord-260550-ld9eieik.txt	./txt/cord-260550-ld9eieik.txt
