Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The genetic factors leading to a predisposition to otitis media are not well understood. The objective of the current study was to develop a tag-single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel to determine if there is an association between candidate gene polymorphisms and the development of chronic otitis media with effusion. STUDY DESIGN: A 1:1 case/control design of 100 cases and 100 controls...
