    Sammanfattning : Background Air pollution exposure has been shown to have adverse effects on several health outcomes, and numerous studies have reported associations with cardiovascular morbidity, respiratory disease, and mortality. Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have investigated possible associations with pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Functional genetics of the interleukin-4 receptors in allergic asthma

    Författare :Ann-Marie Bergin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma; association study; candidate genes; IL4R; CIITA; alternative splicing; minigene;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a complex disorder, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to disease development. Our aim was to analyse possible associations between genetic variations of immunologically important genes and the susceptibility to and severity of allergic asthma in adults. LÄS MER
