Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The -444A/C polymorphism in the leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S) gene has been implicated in susceptibility to asthma, but a large number of studies have reported inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the -444A/C polymorphism in the LTC4S gene and asthma risk using meta-analysis. METHODS: We searched Pubmed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang databases....
