Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Ambient air pollution (AAP) is linked to asthma outcomes, but predicting individual risk remains challenging.

OBJECTIVES: To determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with AAP sensitivity in children with asthma. METHODS: We complete a GWAS in pediatric patients with asthma frequently exposed to...
