Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and childhood asthma.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in childhood asthma by examining associations of functional variants at codons 29 (A --> T), 241 (G --> A), and 469 (A --> G) in Children's Health Study participants. Among African-Americans, 469G carriers had lower risk for asthma (ever asthma OR = 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.9) but increased risk among 29T carriers (early onset active asthma OR = 2.2, 95% CI...
