Chromosome 5, especially the 5q31-33 region, may contain one or more loci to control total serum IgE as well as asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. To investigate the regions related with IgE level in chromosome 5, we performed a case-control association study on 105 high-IgE-level and 85 normal-IgE-level asthmatic children using 43 microsatellite markers that span the whole chromosome 5 with 5 cM...
