Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to atopic diseases is known to involve genetic factors. The interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor- alpha gene (IL4R) reportedly is involved in the development of atopy. A recent study has shown the Ile50 allele of a polymorphism (Ile50Val) of IL4R to be associated with atopy. The objective of this study was to replicate this association and confirm the possible role of the Ile50Val polymorphism of IL4R in...
