Association between the Polymorphisms of IL-4 Gene Promoter (-590C>T), IL-13 Coding Region (R130Q) and IL-16 Gene Promoter (-295T>C) and Allergic Asthma

Association between the Polymorphisms of IL-4 Gene Promoter (-590C>T), IL-13 Coding Region (R130Q) and IL-16 Gene Promoter (-295T>C) and Allergic Asthma

Allergic asthma is a multifactorial disease, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent family-based studies have revealed evidence for linkage of human chromosomes 5q31-33, 12q15-24, 11q13 and 15q23.6 as regions likely to contain genes related to asthma. Among the candidate genes in th...
