Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Because the IL-17/IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) axis is involved in lung inflammation and genetic variants, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can affect its function, this study examined the associations between IL-17/IL-17R gene SNPs, serum IL-17A levels, and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Iranian children. METHODS: A total of 266 subjects were enrolled in this study, comprising 126...
