Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding the interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4R alpha) have been associated with IgE levels or clinical atopy in some populations. Two SNPs that encode S503P and Q576R in the intracytoplasmic domain of the receptor are associated with loss or gain of function, respectively. We investigated the frequency of these SNPs and their association with traits of...
