Genetic susceptibility to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in asthma: a genetic association study
27 Sept 2016

Familial ABPA is reported, and some genetic factors have been associated with the disease, however, these are small studies (n ≤ 38) and do not explain all cases of ABPA. We analysed SNPs in 95 ABPA patients, comparing frequencies to 152 atopic asthmatic and 279 healthy controls. Twenty two genes...
