Effect of glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms on asthma phenotypes
13 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The clinical presentation of asthma results from complex gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. The natural variability of the DNA sequence within the NR3C1 gene affects the activity of glucocorticoid receptors (GCRs). The NR3C1 gene is localized on chromosome 5q31-q32. The gene coding for the GCR comprises nine exons. The structural domains of the GCR determine the biological functions of the functional...
