Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variations in the genes that regulate innate immunity responses may be associated with susceptibility to asthma or atopy after early-life bronchiolitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between four different polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene at rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800890, and rs1800896, either alone or in combination, and post-bronchiolitis asthma or allergies at 5-7 years of...
