Family studies and positional cloning of genes for asthma and related phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Although it is not yet known how many genes may contribute to the susceptibility or the severity of asthma and related phenotypes, genome-wide screens and positional cloning techniques have been successful in identifying contributing genes in multiple populations. The results of these studies provide additional insight into the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of a variety of phenotypes....
