Genetic variation in bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein influences the risk of developing rapid airflow decline after hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Abstract excerpt

Innate immunity is involved in the biology of graft versus host disease and common airway diseases. We screened 15 genes in this pathway using a linkage disequilibrium-based approach to identify potential candidate genes that may be involved in the development of airflow obstruction after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Sixty-nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms were selected for assessment in a discovery...
