Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urticaria/angioedema is a common aspirin-induced allergy; however, its pathogenic mechanism is not understood. OBJECTIVE: In order to uncover the genetic mechanism, we studied the associations of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes in patients with aspirin-induced urticaria compared with aspirin-intolerant asthma and normal control in a Korean population. METHODS: Ninety-four aspirin-induced...
