Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A previous investigation of all 10 TLR genes for associations with allergic rhinitis (AR) detected a number of significant SNPs in the TLR8 locus. The associations indicated that an accumulation of rare variants could explain the signal. This study therefore searches for rare variants in the TLR8 region and also investigates the reproducibility of previous SNP associations. METHODS: The TLR8 gene was...
