Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human genes coding for integrin beta 7 (ITGB7) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) are two of the several candidate genes for asthma and related phenotypes found in a promising candidate region on chromosome 12q that has been identified in multiple genomewide screens and candidate gene approaches. METHODS: All exons, including parts of the neighbouring introns, and the predicted promoter region of the...
