Association of REL Polymorphism with Cow's Milk Proteins Allergy in Pediatric Algerian Population.

Introduction: Cow's milk proteins allergy (CMPA) pathogenesis involves complex immunological mechanisms with the participation of several cells and molecules involved in food allergy. The association of polymorphisms in the interleukin 4, Forkhead box P3 and the avian reticuloendotheliosis genes was investigated in an infant population with CMPA of Western Algeria.

Materials And Methods: We obtained DNA and clinical data from milk allergic subjects during active phase and from a group of non-atopic control subjects.
