Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CD14 promoter DNA sequence polymorphisms for the endotoxin receptor gene have been implicated in modulating allergen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E responses in randomly selected individuals with atopy. We sought to determine if a single nucleotide polymorphism in the CD14 promoter region is associated with atopy in atopic families, and to assess its influence on serum levels of CD14 and...
