Asthma and allergy are common conditions with complex etiologies involving both genetic
and environmental contributions. Recent genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) and …

Asthma and asthma-related traits are complex diseases with strong genetic and
environmental components. Rapid progress in asthma genetics has led to the identification …

Background Susceptibility to asthma is influenced by genes and environment; implicated
genes may indicate pathways for therapeutic intervention. Genetic risk factors may be useful …

Asthma and atopy are complex phenotypes that are influenced by both genetic and
environmental factors. A review of nearly 500 papers on disease association studies …

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) isotype antibodies are associated with atopic disease, namely
allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis, but are also involved in host immune defence …

Extensive development of inhaled and oral glucocorticoids has resulted in highly potent
molecules that have been optimized to target activity to the lung and minimize systemic …

We have sequenced and annotated the genome of the filamentous ascomycete Ashbya
gossypii. With a size of only 9.2 megabases, encoding 4718 protein-coding genes, it is the …

Allergic diseases are complex genetic diseases resulting from the effect of multiple genetic
and interacting environmental factors on their pathophysiology. Recent years have seen …

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that is caused by the interaction of
genetic susceptibility with environmental influences. Genome-wide association studies …

Susceptibility to asthma depends on variation at an unknown number of genetic loci. To
identify susceptibility genes on chromosome 7p, we adopted a hierarchical genoty** …
