Genome scan for loci linked to mite sensitivity: the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Asthma (CSGA)M N Blumenthal
Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Genes Immun 5:226-31. 2004..56, P=0.007), 13 (D13S787, lod=1.30, P=0.01) and 20 (D20S470, lod=1.71, P=0.005). These results suggest that multiple genes may be involved in controlling skin reactivity to Dermatophoigoies...

Clin Exp Allergy 32:107-16. 2002..Antibody binding capacity provides physiological evidence of atopy in some subjects who do not test positively by common methods and suggests an affinity threshold to produce a positive SPT reaction...
Sleep quality in asthma: results of a large prospective clinical trialJohn G Mastronarde
The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43201, USA
J Asthma 45:183-9. 2008..Previous studies have suggested that asthmatics have an increased incidence of sleep disturbances. However, these studies have been limited by reliance on population surveys or small numbers of participants...
