Association between the interleukin 4 gene -590C>T promoter polymorphism and asthma in Xinjiang Uighur children
, “Association between the interleukin 4 gene -590C>T promoter polymorphism and asthma in Xinjiang Uighur children”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
We investigated the association between the interleukin 4 gene (IL-4) -590C>T polymorphism and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) values, immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, and susceptibility to asthma in Uighur children. IL-4 -590C>T frequencies were analyzed in 38 bronchial asthmatic patients and 35 non-asthmatic controls. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were applied to determine the residue at position -590 of IL-4.
