Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore whether the interleukin (IL)-10 polymorphisms and their haplotypes contribute to asthma susceptibility. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE and the COCHRANE library databases were utilized to identify available articles. A meta-analysis was conducted on IL-10 -1082 G/A, -819 C/T, -592 C/A polymorphisms, and their haplotypes and asthma. RESULTS: Eleven studies involving 2,215...
