Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in the regulation of immune responses, IL33, IL1RL1, IL23R, and IL10, with idiopathic achalasia in an Italian cohort of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of eleven polymorphisms were genotyped in 116 unrelated idiopathic achalasic patients and 371 healthy subjects, by using TaqMan genotyping assays. RESULTS:...
