Research title
Exploratory study of genetic factors in allergic diseases
Research overview
Aims: Genetic factors play an important role for the development of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy. This study aims to identify genes involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases.
Methods: DNA was extracted from blood or saliva and genotyped using the Infinium Asian Screening Array (illumina).
