Abstract excerpt
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. To examine whether GM-CSF single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with susceptibility to atopic dermatitis, we investigated the genotype and allele frequencies of the SNPs 3606T/C and 3928C/T of the GM-CSF gene in 181 Japanese patients with atopic dermatitis and...
