Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The effects of β-catenin promoter haplotypes on its mRNA expression levels and asthma risks were investigated in Korean subjects. DESIGN AND METHODS: The genotype analyses were conducted by a Taqman method for 684 Korean subjects, 400 controls and 284 with asthma. Measurement of mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood nucleated cells were conducted on subjects whose buffy coat fractions were...
