Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several genomic regions have been identified that might contain genes contributing to the development of asthma and atopy. These include chromosome 2q33, where we have observed evidence for linkage for variation in total serum IgE levels in a Dutch asthma population. Two candidate genes, CTLA4 and CD28, important homeostatic regulators of T-cell activation and subsequent IgE production, map within...
