Purpose : The gene-encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4(CTLA-4) is one of the candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to atopic dermatitis(AD). The aim of the study was to investigate the association between Korean children with AD and the polymorphisms of CTLA-4 gene promoter(-318) and exon 1(+49).
Methods : The CTLA-4 promoter(-318 T/C) and exon 1(+49 A/G) polymorphisms were genotyped via restriction fragment... |
