Association of Rho-kinase Gene Polymorphisms with Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Neonates
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of the newborn is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Our objective was to determine the association between Rho-kinase (ROCK1 and ROCK2) gene polymorphisms and RDS in preterm ...

A preliminary study: MUC5B promoter polymorphism and its association with IPF
Background The (T) allele of MUC5B gene is strongly correlated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and interstitial lung diseases (ILD) related to autoimmune conditions in Caucasians, but no data is available regarding this polymorphism in the ...

Widespread impact of immunoglobulin V-gene allelic polymorphisms on antibody reactivity
Summary: The ability of the human immune system to generate antibodies to any given antigen can be strongly influenced by immunoglobulin V-gene allelic polymorphisms. However, previous studies have provided only limited examples.

Interleukin-18 gene promoter polymorphisms and recurrent spontaneous abortion [PDF]
Background: IL-18 is a multifunctional cytokine capable of inducing either Th1 or Th2 polarization depending on the immunologic milieu. IL-18 is detected at the materno-fetal interface very soon in early pregnancy.
