摘要
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in developed nations and is a complex disease that has high social and economic costs. Asthma and its associated intermediate phenotypes are under a substantial degree of genetic control. identifying the genes underlying asthma offers a means of better understanding its pathogenesis, with the promise of improving preventive strategies, diagnostic tools, and therapies. A number of chromosomal regions containing genes influencing asthma and atopy have been identified consistently by different groups, and a role for several candidate genes has been established.
