Abstract excerpt
The effect of the A38G polymorphism on Clara cell secretory protein (CC16) gene expression and asthma was investigated by measuring plasma CC16 levels in 100 asthmatic and nonasthmatic children. Restriction digestion determined the A38G genotype and plasma CC16 levels were analyzed using a sensitive latex immunoassay. Asthmatics had lower mean plasma CC16 levels adjusted for age and gender (7.96 microg/L; 95%...
