Single nucleotide polymorphisms in protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type delta for the diagnosis of susceptibility to infection and asthma

摘要

A gene related to a susceptibility of infection and asthma—the Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor-type Delta (PTPRD) gene—a method of detecting the asthma-associated gene, a method of predicting the occurrence of asthma, a method of identifying asthma-associated alleles in PTPRD gene, a method of screening PTPRD for drugs useful in the treatment of asthma, and antibodies specific for PTPRD variants and their use in diagnostic assays.
