Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recent family-based studies have revealed a linkage between human chromosome 5q31 and asthma, elevated serum IgE levels and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Among the candidate genes in this region is the gene encoding IL-4. This gene could be a candidate gene for asthma. The aim of this prospective case-control study was to assess the frequency of polymorphisms in the IL-4 gene...
