Toward a comprehensive set of asthma susceptibility genes.

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological and twin studies have demonstrated that asthma is under genetic and environmental influences. Numerous candidate gene association studies as well as genome-wide linkage scans have followed, aiming to elucidate the genetic architecture underlying this complex disease. Several promising asthma susceptibility genes were identified, and a comprehensive catalogue of these genes seems a realistic goal...
