Description for The Hereditary Basis of Allergic Diseases
Hardback. This volume presents scholarly reviews of the emergent and promising genetic factors influencing susceptibility to and progression of allergic diseases such as asthma. It aims to provide a review of current knowledge while also elucidating progress being made in the field. Editor(s): Holgate, Professor Stephen T., MD, DSc, FMedSci; Holloway, John W. Series: Progress in Inflammation Research. Num Pages: 191 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCM1; PSAK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 1010.
Allergic diseases are complex and involve a range of environmental factors interacting with a susceptible genotype. The familial clustering of diseases, such as asthma and hay fever, has been recognised for over two centuries, but identification of the genetic basis to this had to await the molecular biological revolution. Estimates of the contribution that genetic factors make to asthma susceptibility range from 35% to 70%. For the majority of allergic diseases, segregation analysis has not identified a consistent Mendelian pattern of inheritance, which, when combined with multiple phenotypes and environmental interactions, has made identifying candidate genes especially difficult and, at ...
