Is polymorphism of the heat-shock protein gene Hsp70-2 , but not polymorphisms of the IL-10 and CD14 genes , associated with the outcome of Crohn 's disease?
Allele A of the Hsp70-2 gene may be associated with a less severe form of CD, suggesting the clinical value of the genotype assessment. The genetic determination of the defense mechanisms in CD appears to be associated with the polymorphism of the Hsp70-2 gene rather than that of the CD14 or IL-10 genes.
Imidapril provides a protective effect on pulmonary hypertension induced by low ambient temperature in broiler chickens.
