Abstract excerpt
AIM: Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory processes play a role in asthma etiology, and interleukin-10 (IL10) is an important immunosuppressive cytokine. The present study aimed to evaluate the contribution of IL10 promoter A-1082G (rs1800896), T-819C (rs3021097), A-592C (rs1800872) genetic polymorphisms to the risk of asthma in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Associations of three IL10 polymorphic...
