The impact of genetic factors on the pathogenesis of allergy and asthma is currently an area of intense investigation. Although epidemiological studies find more and more genes that are likely to contribute to allergic inflammation, functional studies of the mechanisms that link genetic variation wi

## Aims To examine the prevalence of symptoms of asthma and allergy in different farming groups in New Zealand. Methods A postal questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 2,500 farmers throughout New Zealand. Results The response rate was 77% (1,706 of 2,203 eligibles). The 12-month period prev
After several years of research to find asthma-susceptibility genes using genome-wide linkage scans and refined genetic mapping methods, four highly interesting candidate genes have recently been reported. Each of these genes represents a different functional class, and might point to a new pathway
Th2 cells play a critical role in the pathogenesis of allergy and asthma. However, the immunological mechanisms that downmodulate and protect against the development of these disorders are poorly understood. A spectrum of CD4 รพ T cells, including Th3 cells, T R cells, CD4 รพ CD25 รพ cells and NKT cell
