Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located across the major histocompatibility complex and susceptibility to diisocyanate-induced asthma (DA). METHODS: The study population consisted of 140 diisocyanate-exposed workers. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina GoldenGate major histocompatibility complex panels. RESULTS: The HLA-E rs1573294 and HLA-DPB1...
