Abstract excerpt
We genotyped CTLA4 CT60 (rs3087243) functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in children with asthma and in healthy controls and correlated the genotype data with asthma clinical data, including treatment response with inhaled corticosteroids measured by forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV(1)). FEV(1) increased by 21.7% after 4 weeks of therapy in atopic asthmatics with the A/A genotype...
