Abstract excerpt
The eotaxin gene family (eotaxin, eotaxin-2, and eotaxin-3) has been implicated in the recruitment of eosinophils, basophiles, and Th2 lymphocytes that is a central aspect of allergic diseases such as asthma. To determine whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of eotaxin gene family are associated with susceptibility to asthma, we scanned 225 asthma patients and 294 non-asthmatic controls using the...
