TBX21 and HLX1 polymorphisms influence cytokine secretion at birthVera Isabel Casaca
Department of Pulmonary and Allergy, University Childrens Hospital Munich, Munich, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e31069. 2012..This study investigated the influence of TBX21 and HLX1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which have previously been shown to be associated with asthma, on T(H)1/T(H)2 lineage cytokines at birth...

University Children s Hospital, Munich, Germany
J Allergy Clin Immunol 122:407-12, 412.e1-4. 2008..Previous cross-sectional surveys have suggested that maternal exposure to animal sheds during pregnancy exerted a protective effect on atopic sensitization in children lasting until school age...
Maternal vitamin D intake during pregnancy increases gene expression of ILT3 and ILT4 in cord bloodM K Rochat
