Prediction of asthma using a four-locus gene model including IL13, IL4, FCER1B, and ADRB2 in children of Kazak nationality

ConclusionsThe four locus gene model consisting ofADRB2 rs1042713,IL4 rs2243250,FCER1B rs569108 andL13 rs20541 can predict asthma of Han children but not for the Kazak children in Xinjiang, which illustrating that the difference of asthma prevalence between different races is closely related to the genetic background.
