Abstract

See full text

Polymorphic variants (e.g., certain alleles of polymorphic markers) that have been found to be associated with high blood eosinophil counts, conditions causative of eosinophilia (e.g., asthma, myocardial infarction), and/or hypertension are provided herein. Such polymorphic markers are useful for diagnostic purposes, such as in methods of determining a susceptility, and for prognostic purposes, including methods of predicting prognosis and methods of assessing an individual for probability of a response to a therapeutic agent, as further described herein. Further applications utilize the polymorphic markers of the invention include, screening methods and genotyping methods.
