Abstract excerpt
The gene for Clara cell secretory protein (CC16) is an ideal candidate for investigating genetic predisposition to asthma because of its role in the airway as an anti-inflammatory molecule, differences in its levels between asthmatics and healthy controls, and its genetic location (11q13). We investigated the association of an SNP (A38G) and an intragenic repeat polymorphism in the CC16 gene with asthma and its...
