Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: YKL-40 (chitinase 3-like 1 gene; CHI3L1) is an inflammatory marker that is increased in the blood of patients with inflammatory diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF). The objective of our study was to explore the relationship between circulating levels of YKL-40, selected CHI3L1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the severity of CF disease. METHODS: A prospective cohort of 188 adult...
