Molecular-genetic testing of single-nucleotide polymorphism C-33T of IL4 gene in children with recurrent episodes of acute obstructive bronchitis.

Abstract

The molecular genetic testing of the IL4 gene of a single nucleotide polymorphism C-33T was performed in 35 children with recurrent episodes of acute obstructive bronchitis and 35 children with acute bronchitis. It has been proved that the presence of a child's genotype 33СT IL4 increases the risk of recurrent acute obstructive bronchitis by 4 times.
