Linkage of Asthma and Total Serum IgE Concentration to Markers on Chromosome 12q: Evidence from Afro-Caribbean and Caucasian Populations
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
To identify genes potentially relevant in atopic asthma, we analyzed markers in chromosome 12q15-q24.1 for linkage to asthma and total serum IgE concentration. Sib-pair analyses of 10 markers in 345 full- and 219 half-sib pairs from 29 multiplex Afro-Caribbean families provided evidence for linkage to this region for both asthma and total serum IgE. Certain alleles at these loci showed significant evidence of...
