Abstract excerpt
(1) Background: Variants of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) gene, encoding an anti-inflammatory cytokine, are associated with asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway influenced by interactions between genetic variants and environmental factors. We discovered a gene-environment interaction (GEI) of IL1RN polymorphisms with childhood environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure on...
