Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: ADAM33, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 33, gene has been identified as an asthma susceptibility gene. The relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADAM33 and atopic dermatitis (AD) in Japanese children was examined using case-control design. METHODS: Seven SNPs of ADAM33 (rs2853209, rs2787094, rs2280091, rs2280090, rs628977, , and ) were analyzed in 140 AD...
