Abstract excerpt
The rise in incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) since the 1990s has prompted investigations into its pathogenesis, natural history, and management. Identified genetic variants in FLG, DSG1, CAPN14, SPINK5, and SPINK7 link EoE to epithelial barrier dysfunction, whereas variants in CCL26, POSTN, and TSLP associate EoE with T helper type 2-mediated immunity. Early-life, infectious, and...
