Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heredity and environmental exposures may contribute to a predisposition to allergic rhinitis (AR). Autoimmunity may also involve into this pathologic process. FCRL3 (Fc receptor-like 3 gene), a novel immunoregulatory gene, has recently been reported to play a role in autoimmune diseases. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the potential association of FCRL3 polymorphisms with AR in a...
