Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an esophageal inflammatory disease associated with atopic diseases. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and calpain 14 (CAPN14) genetic variations contribute to EoE, but how this relates to atopy is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between EoE, atopy, and genetic risk. METHODS: EoE-atopy enrichment was tested by using 700...
