Abstract excerpt
The beta subunit of high affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor (FcepsilonRIbeta) and the Clara cell derived inflammatory molecule, CC16 have been cited as candidate genes for atopic asthma on chromosome 11q13. A genetic association study was performed with an intragenic microsatellite repeat of CC16 gene on chromosome 11q12-13 in relation to atopic and non-atopic asthma. Whereas variants of FcepsilonRIbeta at...
