Abstract excerpt
Eotaxin family (Eotaxin 1,2 and 3) recruits and activates CCR3-bearing cells such as eosinophil, mast cells, and Th2 lymphocytes that play a major role in allergic disorders. We examined the polygenetic effects of the Eotaxin gene family in a Korean population. Gene-gene interactions were tested using a multistep approach with multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method between asthmatics and normal...
