Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a cohort of children in Cyprus, we recently reported low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) to be associated with asthma. We examined whether genetic polymorphisms that were previously linked individually to asthma, obesity, or HDL-C are associated with both asthma and HDL-C levels in the Cyprus cohort. METHODS: We assessed genotypes frequencies in current-wheezers (n = 190) and...
