The role of the 17q21 genotype in the prevention of early childhood asthma and recurrent wheeze by vitamin D

Abstract

Evidence suggests vitamin D has preventive potential in asthma; however, not all children benefit from this intervention. This study aimed to investigate whether variation in the functional 17q21 single nucleotide polymorphism rs12936231 affects the preventive potential of vitamin D against asthma.
