The gene encoding interleukin-13: a susceptibility locus for asthma and related traits.

Respiratory research - 1 Jan 2000

Wills-Karp M

Abstract excerpt

Asthma is a complex inflammatory disorder controlled by both genetic and environmental influences. Multiple genetic analyses have identified the T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q as a susceptibility locus for asthma. Recently, the Th2 cytokine interleukin-13 has been shown to be a critical mediator of the asthma phenotype in murine models. In this commentary we discuss several recent...
