Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether polymorphisms in forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) and EBV-induced gene 3 (EBI3) genes are associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Chinese patients. METHODS: A population-based case-control association study design was used to assess the risk of AR conferred by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FOXP3 and EBI3 gene regions. DNA was extracted from 378 patients with AR and...
