Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) is a multifunctional protein involved in regulation of airway hyperreactivity and other activities relevant to asthma. OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of MYLK gene variants in asthma among African Caribbean and African American populations. METHODS: W...
