Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic variants in the Fcepsilon receptor I beta gene (Glu237Gly) and the T allele of the (C590T) polymorphism of interleukin (IL)-4 gene promoter were reported to be associated with atopy. But the data of the studies in different populations are contrasting with one another. METHODS: A group of 25 Italian nuclear families were studied. In each family at least two allergic subjects were present....
