Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: IgG Fc receptors (FcγRs) play important roles in immune responses. It is not clear whether FcγR receptors play a role in human asthma and allergy. The aim of current study was to investigate whether functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FcγR genes (FCGR) are associated with human asthma and allergy. METHODS: Functional SNPs of FCGR2A (FcγRIIA-131His>Arg, rs1801274), FCGR2B...
