Background
Few genetic studies that focus on moderate-to-severe asthma exist. We aimed to identity novel genetic variants associated with moderate-to-severe asthma, see whether previously identified genetic variants for all types of asthma contribut...

Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma (2012)
Journal Article
Tulah, A. S., Beghé, B., Barton, S. J., Holloway, J. W., & Sayers, I. (2012). Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma. BMC Medical Genetics, 13(Novemb), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2350-13-110

Background: Polymorphisms spanning genes involved in the production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) e.g. ALOX5AP and
LTA4H are associated with asthma susceptibility, suggesting a role for LTB4 in disease. The contribution of LTB4
receptor polymorphism is... Read More about Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma.
