Abstract excerpt
The gene, CRTH2, encoding a receptor for prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)), is located within the peak linkage region for asthma on chromosome (Chr.) 11q reported in African American families. Family-based analysis of asthma and two common SNPs [G1544C and G1651A (rs545659)] in the 3'-untranslated regi...
