Rethinking genetic models of asthma: the role of environmental modifiers.

Current opinion in immunology - 1 Dec 2005

Ober Carole, Thompson Emma E

Abstract excerpt

Asthma is a common, chronic disease with a complex etiology. To date, more than 35 genes have been associated with asthma or related phenotypes in multiple populations, but none of them has been shown to contribute to risk in all populations studied. We suggest that genetic susceptibility is both context dependent and developmentally regulated, and that ignoring the environmental context will miss many important...
