Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: IL-16 is an immunomodulatory cytokine whose expression is increased in the bronchial mucosa, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and induced sputum of asthmatic patients. It has been suggested that IL-16 has a regulatory role in the pathophysiology of asthma. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (T(-295)C) has been described in the promoter region of the gene and it has been hypothesized that this polymorphism...
