Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) gene is associated with asthma, but no functional genetic variations are known to associate with the disease or its related phenotypes. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of TBXA2R polymorphisms with asthma susceptibility and related phenotypes and to identify functionally relevant polymorphisms. METHODS: We performed comprehensive sequencing of the TBXA2R...
