Title: | Association studies of genetic polymorphisms found in interleukins 12, 13 and CD14 gene with asthma and allergic diseases | Authors: | LOH HSIU YIN, ALICIA | Keywords: | Polymorphisms, Interleukin 12, Interleukin 13, CD14, Asthma, Allergic Disease | Issue Date: | 18-Jul-2005 | Citation: | LOH HSIU YIN, ALICIA (2005-07-18). Association studies of genetic polymorphisms found in interleukins 12, 13 and CD14 gene with asthma and allergic diseases. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Asthma and allergic diseases are complex traits with a polygenic mode of inheritance. Genome wide scans of affected families in several populations and candidate gene analyses have implicated several susceptibility genes. A study on Singapore Chinese families with asthma showed linkage to a region on chromosome 5q31-33. This thesis focused on candidate genes found in this region. Association studies were carried out for genetic polymorphisms found in interleukins 12 and 13, and the CD14 gene. We hypothesized that polymorphisms found within these genes may play a role in disease susceptibility. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/14745 |
