Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Functional variants in the interleukin-6 receptor gene (IL6R) are associated with asthma risk. We hypothesized that genes co-expressed with IL6R might also be regulated by genetic polymorphisms that are associated with asthma risk. The aim of this study was to identify such genes. METHODS: To identify genes whose expression was correlated with that of IL6R, we analyzed gene expression levels generated...
