Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the hypothesis that constitutional genetic variation in IL-5 signalling may be associated with the development or severity of FIP1L1-PDGFRA-positive chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL) in humans. We genotyped six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within or close to the IL5RA or IL5 genes in 82 patients with FIP1L1-PDGFRA-positive CEL plus, as controls, healthy individuals (n=100),...
