Case-control study of rhinoconjunctivitis associated with IL5RA polymorphisms in Japanese women: The Kyushu Okinawa Maternal and Child Health Study

This is the first study to show significant associations between IL5RA SNP rs6771148, the ACTAGA haplotype, and the GTAGCA haplotype and the risk of rhinoconjunctivitis. We did not find evidence for interactions affecting rhinoconjunctivitis between any of the IL5RA SNPs and smoking.
