Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) regulates inflammation and may play a role in asthma. Using mouthwash-derived DNA and clinical interviews and measurements, we investigated the association of previously characterized single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the PPARG gene (Pro12Ala, C1431T, and C-681G) with asthma exacerbations in patients aged 3-22 years (n=569). The common homozygous...
