“…Heritability studies suggest that genetic factors may play a significant role in predisposition to food allergy. An increased prevalence of peanut allergy was reported in siblings of affected children relative to the general population (6), and estimates of the heritability from a twin study are as high as 81.6% (7). Genetic susceptibility was reported previously through linkage studies (8,9), and several food allergy genes of interest have been identified through candidate gene studies (reviewed in Ref.…”

“…One twin study (26) found a significantly higher concordance rate of peanut allergy among monozygotic twins (64%) as compared with dizygotic twins (7%), suggesting a strong genetic influence. The maturity of the gastrointestinal tract may also be a factor, as epidemiologic studies have shown a higher rate of food allergies in young children as compared with adults (1).…”
