Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Eotaxin (chemokine, CC motif, ligand; CCL11) is a potent eosinophil chemoattractant strongly implicated in the pathobiology of asthma. Genetic variation at the CCL11 locus has been correlated with serum total IgE, blood eosinophil counts, and circulating eotaxin protein levels in several case-control asthma studies. Family-based association studies of CCL11 genetic variants have not been reported to...
