African Ancestry Is Associated with Asthma Risk in African Americans

3 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a common complex condition with clear racial and ethnic differences in both prevalence and severity. Asthma consultation rates, mortality, and severe symptoms are greatly increased in African descent populations of developed countries. African ancestry has been associated with asthma, total serum IgE and lower pulmonary function in African-admixed populations. To replicate previous findings,...
