This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to find examine the role of genetic factors in causing severe asthma. We are focusing initially on interleukin 16 (IL-16), a substance made by the body's white blood cells that may have an important role in asthma. Later, we will also look at other substances and their genes that have been reported in the scientific literature to influence asthma.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的目的是探讨遗传因素在引起严重哮喘中的作用。我们首先关注的是白细胞介素16（IL-16），这是一种由人体白色血细胞产生的物质，可能在哮喘中起重要作用。稍后，我们还将研究科学文献中报道的影响哮喘的其他物质及其基因。
