— IL4 IL4 C-33T
5'-UTR variant 33 bases downstream of the IL-4 transcription start site; the T allele alters local RNA secondary structure and is associated with elevated IL-4 production, raised serum IgE, and increased susceptibility to allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis through amplified Th2-skewed immune responses
