Dependent variable in model 1: AIH-1 susceptibility.
Dependent variable in model 2: IL5 rs2069812.
Dependent variable in model 3: IgE levels.
IL13 codon 110 (rs20541): A allele = Q (glutamic acid) and G allele = R (arginine); IL4RA codon 50 (rs1805011): A allele = I (isoleucine) and G allele = V (valine).
Homozigosis for T allele.
