Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To test for possible association of hsp70-2 (+1267A/G), hsp70-hom (+2437T/C), HMOX-1 (number of GT repeats) and TNF-α (+489G/A) polymorphisms with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Croatian population. METHODS: Genotyping of DNA isolated from whole blood of 130 COPD patients (as defined by spirometry) and 95 healthy controls was performed. Fragment size analysis upon restriction enzyme...
