This invention relates to single nucleotide polymorphisms in the LTC4 synthase gene, EMBL accession no. U50136, particularly at one or more of positions 375, 815, 1003, 2169 and 2742. The invention also relates to methods and materials for analysing allelic variation in the LTC4 synthase gene, and to the use of LTC4 synthase polymorphism in the diagnosis and treatment of leukotriene mediated diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. |
