Ethnic differences in genetic susceptibility to atopy and asthma.
The genetics of asthma and atopy is complex, but can be approached by studies of both candidate genes and mapping of susceptibility loci. Genetic factors conferring susceptibility to disease may vary among ethnic groups. We present our experience with some candidate gene studies for asthma and atopy and susceptibility locus mapping for linkage to chromosome 5q.

متن کاملEthnic differences in cancer incidence: a marker for inherited susceptibility?
Cancer incidence varies markedly by ethnicity and geographic location. Ethnic variation in cancer occurrence has traditionally been ascribed to differences in social, cultural, economic, and physical environments. However, this interpretation of the epidemiologic evidence may need to be revised as a result of new biological evidence and theories of carcinogenesis. Carcinogenesis is now recogniz...
