Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Platelet-derived growth factor A-chain (PDGF-A) is a potent connective tissue mitogen implicated in lung growth and development. PDGF-A may have a role in asthma through effects on fibroblasts and bronchial smooth muscle cells. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that there exist variations in the PDGF-A gene associated with the asthma phenotype. METHODS: We screened genomic DNA from normal and...
