Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence point to a relevant role of IL-18 in the process of asthma. Some studies suggest that the polymorphism in the gene of IL-18 can be involved in many inflammatory and atopic diseases such as asthma. The aim of our study is to estimate the frequency of the IL-18-607 C/A (rs 1946518) promoter polymorphism in Tunisian children with asthma. We investigated whether the presence of this...
