Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urticaria is characterized by inappropriate mast cell degranulation leading to the development of wheals and/or angioedema. Twin and family studies indicate that there is a substantial heritable component to urticaria risk. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to identify genomic loci at which common genetic variation influences urticaria susceptibility. METHODS: Genome-wide association studies of urticaria...
