Abstract excerpt
IgE-mediated allergy is a common chronic disorder resulting from interactions between genetic and environmental factors. The gene encoding CD14 is a positional candidate gene for allergic diseases as it is localised on chromosome 5q31.1, a region linked to asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. We investigated the relationship among atopic phenotypes and six polymorphisms in the CD14 gene. Polymerase chain...
