A NOVEL POLYMORPHISM OF MBL GENE USEFUL FOR PREDICTION OF PREDISPOSITON TO BRONCHIAL ASTHMA WITH ALLERGIC RHINITIS

摘要

The present invention relates to detection of novel polymorphism of human MBL gene and provides allele specific primers suitable for detecting this polymorphic site for applications such as molecular diagnosis, prediction of an individual’s susceptibility to bronchial asthma with allergic rhinitis, and/or the genetic analysis of MBL gene in a population.
