Written by the leading specialists, this book brings together, reviews, and structures up-to-date information on polymorphisms in cytokine genes. While the beginning chapters discuss the properties of individual cytokines, in the later chapters cytokine polymorphisms are re-presented considering the individual disease or condition. Broadening understanding of the effect of genetic variations on human immune responses, the organization, scope, and content of this book make it a valuable and easily accessible resource. A reference for geneticists, immunologists, cell and molecular biologists and clinicians, the book is a must for everyone involved in, or planning, cytokine genetics or immunogenetics studies.
