Abstract excerpt
The present report studied potential association of the rs1800925(C/T) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the Interleukin (IL)-13 gene promoter with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in patients of Chinese Han ethnicity. Seventy patients with IPF were enrolled and divided into three subgroups: group A (61-79 % pred. DLCO; n = 22), group B (51-60% pred. DLCO; n = 20), and group C (≤50% pred. DLCO; n = 28)....
