Abstract excerpt
Inherited atopic diseases of humans arise from adverse adaptive humoral responses to noninfectious environmental allergens. We previously reported that allergen-specific IgG1 provides more reliable heritability estimates for responses to allergens than total IgE. Genome scans were done for 91 Caucasian nuclear families with history of atopy for total IgE and IgG1 produced against a common major allergen from...
