Abstract excerpt
A genetic association study was performed with coding variants of Fc epsilon RI beta in relation to atopic and non-atopic asthma in a Japanese population (n = 400). A coding variant of Gly237Glu in exon 7 of Fc epsilon RI beta gene showed association with atopic asthma (OR = 3.00, chi 2 = 5.10, p < 0.03), but not with non-atopic asthma; this was seen particularly in childhood asthma (OR = 3.92, chi 2 = 8.66, p <...
