TLDR
The methods that have been used to identify susceptibility genes for common diseases and the status of asthma genetic research are discussed and current challenges and future directions are discussed.Abstract:
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 identified 25 genes that have been associated with an asthma or atopy phenotype in six or more populations. An additional 54 genes have been associated in 2-5 populations. Here, we discuss the methods that have been used to identify susceptibility genes for common diseases and overview the status of asthma genetic research. Finally, current challenges and future directions are discussed.read more

TL;DR: Criteria for defining asthma endotypes on the basis of their phenotypes and putative pathophysiology are suggested and how these new definitions can be used in clinical study design and drug development to target existing and novel therapies to patients most likely to benefit are proposed.

The ‘hygiene hypothesis’ for autoimmune and allergic diseases: an update
TL;DR: Migration studies and others showing a correlation between high disease incidence and high socio‐economic level do not prove a causal link between infections and immune disorders, but open new therapeutic perspectives in the prevention of autoimmune and allergic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the adam33 gene with asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness
TL;DR: The identification and characterization of ADAM33, a putative asthma susceptibility gene identified by positional cloning in an outbred population, should provide insights into the pathogenesis and natural history of this common disease.

Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data
TL;DR: Pritch et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations, which can be applied to most of the commonly used genetic markers, provided that they are not closely linked.
