Positionally cloned susceptibility genes in allergy and asthma.

Abstract excerpt

After several years of research to find asthma-susceptibility genes using genome-wide linkage scans and refined genetic mapping methods, four highly interesting candidate genes have recently been reported. Each of these genes represents a different functional class, and might point to a new pathway in the pathogenesis of asthma. Current research is focusing on confirming the genetic associations in diverse...
