Abstract excerpt
T-box transcription factor protein (TBX21) is encoded by the TBX21 gene in human. It is crucial for naive T lymphocyte development, interferon-γ production, airway hyperresponsiveness and regulation of corticosteroid response in asthmatics. Polymorphisms rs4794067 and rs16947078 of TBX21 were found to be associated with acetylsalicylic acid-induced and allergic asthma, respectively. We examined whether sequence...
