METHODS FOR THE RISK ESTIMATION OF BRONCHIECTASIS USING IFNGAMMA AND CXCR1 GENE POLYMORPHISMS

摘要

A method of investigating a patient's risk of developing bronchiectasis, the method comprising the step of testing the genotype of genes involved in IFNgamma signalling or CXCR-1 signalling of the patient. A method of selecting a course of treatment for a patient with or at risk of developing bronchiectasis the method comprising the step of testing the genotype of genes involved in IFNgamma signalling or CXCR-1 signalling of the patient.
