The era of genome-wide association studies: opportunities and challenges for asthma genetics.

Abstract excerpt

In the era of genome-wide association (GWA) studies, delineating pathogenic asthma genetic pathways has provided both challenges and opportunities. Initial GWA studies on asthma and asthma-like phenotypes provided some successes in terms of ascertaining new potential asthma candidate genes. However, due to asthma having a heterogeneous etiology, replications of these genotype-phenotype association studies are...
