Genes for atopy and asthma.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of atopic diseases is represented by a complex network of interacting genes or common genetic variants rather than a few disease-causing mutations. The individual risk of developing asthma or other atopic diseases is defined by the concert of interaction of these hereditary factors and environmental stimuli. The first decade of asthma genetics has been spent identifying those genetic regions...
