Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several genome scans have reported linkage of markers on chromosome 7p with asthma and related phenotypes in different populations. A fine mapping in Finnish and French-Canadian populations has associated the GPR154 gene (also known as G-protein-coupled receptor for asthma susceptibility, GPRA) with elevated IgE or asthma. OBJECTIVE: To confirm chromosome 7p linkage and candidate gene association in...
