Abstract excerpt
The CD14-159 C --> T polymorphism, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -159 in the promoter region of the gene encoding the pattern recognition receptor CD14, has been associated with elevated plasma concentrations of soluble CD14, lowered serum immunoglobulin E, increased risk for myocardial infarction, and decreased risk for allergy and asthma. In the present study, the CD14-159 C --> T...
