| Description | To test a possible role of IL-18 gene polymorphisms in a Czech population, case-control study including 284 patients with allergic asthma and 312 healthy control subjects was performed. Our results indicate that the three promoter polymorphisms in the IL-18 gene act in a cooperative fashion and suggest that IL-18 haplotypes could play a role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma in a Czech population. |
