Background: Environmental exposure to endotoxin might have a crucial role in immune maturation and development of asthma.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the effect of endotoxin concentration in settled house dust on asthma is modified by the presence of variation in the TLR4 gene.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study within the German follow-up of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
