Fig. 1

Genotype results. Illustrates the genotyping results for the STAT6 rs324011 polymorphism using PCR-RFLP. Figure 1 Photo 1 shows the gel electrophoresis results for the STAT6 rs324011 polymorphism. The lanes 2, 3, and 4 are heterozygous (CT) with three bands at 132, 107, & 25 bp. The lanes 1 and 5 were homozygous polymorphic (TT) with two bands at 107 & 25 bp. Figure 1 Photo 2 further validates these patterns, with lanes 2, 3, 4, and 5 were heterozygous (CT) with three bands at 132, 107, and 25 bp. Lane 1 was homozygous wild (CC) with a single band at 132 bp. The 25 bp band appears obscure due to its small molecular size
