Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived cytokine important in initiation of allergic inflammation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TSLP are associated with asthma, yet studies have shown inconsistent associations between circulating TSLP and asthma. Studies that integrate the combined effects of TSLP genotype, TSLP mRNA, circulating TSLP levels, and asthma outcome are...
