Pathophysiology of asthma: lessons from genetic research with particular focus on severe asthma.

Abstract excerpt

There is good evidence that both inherited and environmental factors influence the risk of developing asthma. Only recently, large well-designed studies have been undertaken with the power to identify the genetic causes for asthma, and methods developed in parallel with the Human Genome Project, such as gene expression and epigenetic studies, have made large-scale analyses of functional genetics possible. In this...
