Abstract
Objective:
To investigate the linkage between asthma and 5q31-33 in a Chinese population.
Methods:
The linkage between microsatellite markers in 5q and asthma and allergy was tested by lod score analysis.
Results:
The linkage between asthma and 5q31-33 was not confirmed.
Conclusion:
The genes at 5q31-33 are not likely to contribute to inheritance of asthma in this Chinese population.
