摘要: Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses is the result of an interaction genetic and environmental factors shares many characteristics with human asthma. Many studies have suggested that interleukin-4 receptor gene (IL4R) associated this disease, a QTL region on chromosome 13 containing IL4R was previously detected one two Swiss Warmblood families. We sequenced entire family 93 variants including five non-synonymous protein-coding variants. The allele distribution at these SNPs supported signal. Subsequently, we investigated mRNA expression bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cells. During exacerbation, increased RAO-affected offspring implicated family, but not other family. These findings support plays role some cases RAO.
