OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a heterogenous complex disorder caused by chronic inflammation of the airways. The key issue in genetic association studies of complex disorders is the identification of multiple low-risk genes that individually have little impact on the phenotype, but in combination account for the clinical manifestation of asthma. Since neurogenic inflammation is emerging as a candidate factor in the...
