A review of the genetic epidemiology of resistance to parasitic disease and atopic asthma: common variants for common phenotypes?

Current opinion in allergy and clinical immunology - 1 Oct 2005

Barnes Kathleen C, Grant Audrey V, Gao Peisong

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: An inverse relationship between resistance to certain parasitic diseases and measures of atopy and asthma has long been observed. A possible explanation is that genetic determinants which confer protection against detrimental worm burdens are the same determinants involved in atopic asthma. The focus of this review is to consider the potential candidate genes that have been elucidated as part...
