Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin-E (IgE) (FcepsilonRI) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of allergy, but there are only two published studies on its alpha subunit (FcepsilonRIalpha) genetic variability in allergic diseases. AIMS OF THE STUDY: Mutational screening in the region of the FcepsilonRIalpha gene promoter and the first exon with subsequent genetic variability assessment in...
