Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic heritability and maternal atopy have been correlated to antenatal IgE production, but very few studies have studied gene-maternal atopy interaction on antenatal IgE production. This study investigated the interaction of CTLA-4 polymorphism with prenatal factors on the elevation of cord blood IgE (CBIgE). METHODS: Pregnant women were antenatally recruited for collection of prenatal...
