Polymorphisms in candidate asthma genes.

Abstract excerpt

The triad of reversible airway obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation characterizes asthma. The etiology of asthma is complex and involves the interaction of multiple genetic foci and a variety of environmental factors, such as protein allergens, chemical sensitizers, and viral or bacterial proteins. Candidate asthma genes have been identified that may be linked or associated with the...
