Use Cord Blood Single Nucleotide Polymorphism to Predict the Later Development of Atopy and Allergy

This study is currently recruiting participants.

Sponsors and Collaborators:	Min-Sheng General Hospital National Taiwan University Hospital
Information provided by:	Min-Sheng General Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00444327

Purpose

The aim of our study was firstly to detect in cord bloods the polymorphism of genes related to atopy and allergic diseases and to examine their mutual interaction and their associations with cord blood IgE and cytokines. After that, in the prospective follow-up visits, we liked to investigate if the measurement of cord blood SNPs of genes related to atopy and allergic diseases was helpful in predicting the development of atopy and allergic diseases later in life.
