Abstract

Two promoter polymorphisms of the high-affinity IgE receptor a-subunit (FceRIa) gene (FCER1A), )66T>C (rs2251746) and )315C>T (rs2427827), were analysed in Japanese atopic dermatitis subjects. Patients with the )315CT?TT genotype tended to have higher total serum IgE levels, while the proportion of )315CT?TT genotype or the )315T allele was significantly higher in those with highly elevated total serum IgE concentrations.
