<p>The MHC III region of chromosome 6p21.3 harbors a DNA sequence, most likely within the TNF or LTA gene, which influences response to pimecrolimus for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Accordingly, genetic polymorphisms in the TNF and LTA genes are useful as biomarkers of the efficacy of pimecrolimus treatment of inflammatory disease. By contrast, response to tacrolimus appears to be influenced by other biological pathways.</p> |
