Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The specific genetic contributions to childhood asthma have been difficult to elucidate. A recent whole-genome association study suggested that single nucleotide polymorphisms at loci controlling the expression of the ORMDL3 gene and others in the neighborhood of the NRG1 and ERO1LB genes might be important. OBJECTIVE: We sought to replicate the associations of these genetic markers with asthma in a...
