Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the chromosome 17q12-q21 region and, independently, early-life nasal microbiota dominated by Moraxella, Streptococcus, or Haemophilus (MSH) increase risk of chronic wheeze and asthma development. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether 17q12-q21 risk SNPs and nasal microbiota interact to modulate childhood wheeze risk. METHODS: Nasal wash samples from...
