Method for detecting gene specifying allergic predisposition

摘要

A method of detecting genes which comprises detecting gene polymorphisms in allergy-predisposition-related genes; i.e., interleukin 12 receptor IL-1 beta2 chain and beta1 chain genes, interleukin 18 receptor alpha chain gene, interferon gamma receptor 1 chain gene and interleukin 12.p40 subunit gene, to thereby detect allergic predisposition. Use of the present method enables contribution to the prevention of onset of allergic diseases and to the treatment of allergic diseases.
