Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The IL-4/IL-13 pathway is central for IgE regulation. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) is the major transcription factor within this pathway. STAT6 polymorphisms were recently associated with elevated total IgE levels in a genome-wide association study. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess biological mechanisms by which an IgE-associated genetic variation in STAT6 may...
