Interferon-γ Promoter Is Hypermethylated in Blood DNA from Workers with Confirmed Diisocyanate Asthma
27 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Risk factors have not been identified that determine susceptibility for development of diisocyanate-induced occupational asthma (DA). We hypothesized that diisocyanate (DI) exposure could modify gene promoter regions regulating transcription of cytokine mediators and thereby influence expression of DA. A cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the promoter methylation status of candidate genes in...
