Abstract excerpt
Known susceptibility genes to atopy and asthma have been identified by linkage or associations with clinical phenotypes, including total serum IgE levels. IgE-mediated sensitivity reactions require a high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI), which immobilizes the immunoglobulin on the surface of the effector cells, mostly mast cells and basophils. In this mini-review, recent findings are presented on genetic...
