Childhood Atopic Asthma: Positive Association with a Polymorphism of IL-4 Receptor α Gene but Not with That of IL-4 Promoter or Fc ε Receptor I β Gene
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
We examined the relative contributions of three representative candidate genes for atopy (Fc epsilon receptor I beta, IL-4, and IL-4 receptor alpha) to the development of atopic asthma. Four polymorphisms of the three candidate genes including Ile50Val and Gln551Arg of IL-4 receptor alpha, -590C/T of IL-4 promoter and Glu237Gly of Fc epsilon receptor I beta were studied in 100 patients with atopic asthma and 100...
