Abstract excerpt
The human IL-4 receptor alpha chain gene (IL4R) is highly polymorphic and controversial reports have been published with respect to the association of different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with atopy markers. Here we analyzed the functional and associational relevance of common IL4R coding SNPs. Transfection of B cell lines expressing the IL-4R variant V75+R576 did not result in enhanced IL-4 induced...
