Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the TNF-alpha (A-308G), IL-4 (C-589T), and Fcalpha RIbeta (E237G) genes have been associated with asthma and related phenotypes. To determine the predictive value of these polymorphisms we have assessed their relative risk (RR) for the development of atopy, asthma, and rhinitis in a high-risk infant population that is being followed longitudinally from birth. DNA was extracted and genotyped for...
