Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Peanut allergy (PA) is a complex disease with both environmental and genetic risk factors. Previously, PA loci were identified in filaggrin (FLG) and HLA in candidate gene studies, and loci in HLA were identified in a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate genetic susceptibility to PA. METHODS: Eight hundred fifty cases and 926 hyper-control subjects and...
