The expanding evidence for gene-environmental interaction in asthma indicates the importance of measuring environmental factors in genetic studies of asthma. Understanding gene-environmental interaction would facilitate risk prognostication, improve preventive strategies and develop targeted interventions in people with asthma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
