Abstract excerpt
Asthma is a complex disease, with an etiology that includes both genetic and environmental influences that may interact. The moderate heritability of asthma has led researchers to investigate its molecular genetic basis using both exploratory investigations of linkage via genome scans, as well as targeted studies of specific candidate genes. Promising candidate genes include the cytokine genes on chromosome...
