Abstract excerpt
The gene for Clara cell 16-kDa (CC16) protein is a promising candidate for asthma susceptibility. The CC16 38A allele has been associated with decreased CC16 plasma levels and increased incidence of asthma in Australian children. To date these results have not been replicated in adults. Therefore, potential links between CC16 A38G, asthma and atopy were investigated in an unselected population of young adult...
