Novel Genetic Risk factors for Asthma in African American Children: Precision Medicine and The SAGE II Study

2016-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Asthma, an inflammatory disorder of the airways, is the most common chronic disease of children worldwide. There are significant racial/ethnic disparities in asthma prevalence, morbidity and mortality among U.S. children. This trend is mirrored in obesity, which may share genetic and environmental risk factors with asthma. The majority of asthma biomedical research has been performed in popula...
