Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms within the beta subunit of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R1-beta ) on chromosome 11q13 have been related to atopy and asthma and the lymphotoxin alpha (LT alpha) gene on chromosome 6 is implicated in asthma. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the association of polymorphisms in the Fc epsilon R1-beta and LT alpha genes to IgE responses and asthma in a family-orientated rural...
