The mechanisms involved in asthma induced by toluene diisocyanate (TDI), a low molecular weight compound, are still unknown, but increasing interest has been expressed in the genetic component of this disease. In two collaborative studies on the role of genetic factors in isocyanate-induced asthma, a...
