Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the interleukin (IL)-18 locus with wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) in the Han Chinese population. METHOD: 130 patients with WDEIA and 600 healthy subjects were recruited for this study. Three tag SNPs (rs360729, rs360717 and rs1946518) were selected and genotyped, and total IgE and specific IgE levels were...
