Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptor (TLR) polymorphisms have been associated with atopic diseases in children and adults. Development of atopic diseases may be modified by TLR-mediated signals that modulate T-regulatory cells (Tregs) early in life when maternal influences are still present and relevant. The aim of this study was to assess whether genetic TLR variants influence Tregs in neonates. METHODS: Twelve single...
