Susceptibility to atopic diseases is known to involve genetic factors. The Gly237 allele of a polymorphism (Glu237Gly) of the Fc epsilon R1 beta gene is reportedly associated with atopic asthma in Japanese. To confirm this association, we conducted transmission disequilibrium tests in 76 families identified through atopic asthmatics. A case-control study was also carried out in atopic asthmatic subjects and...
