Abstract excerpt
A genome-wide screen for loci influencing positive skin prick tests (SPT) to airborne allergens was conducted in the Hutterites, a founder population of European ancestry. Positive SPT to 14 standardized allergens was measured in 370 subjects in our primary sample and 324 subjects in a replication sample. Evidence for linkage to positive SPT was assessed using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) with 337...
