“…Estimating a causal relationship between genotype and phenotype tends to be highly complicated, owing to, among other things, the potential for gene–gene and gene–environment interactions, heterogeneity in genetic markers (e.g. hundreds of different BRCA mutations have been found in patients with breast cancer [ 43 ]) and heterogeneity in clinical symptoms [ 44 ]. Additionally, it may be difficult to identify appropriate controls, to link genetic data to data on clinical outcomes [ 45 ] and to get a large enough sample size to meet statistical significance requirements.…”

“…Asthma is one of the most widely encountered chronic diseases in childhood and its prevalence has been increasing gradually worldwide, although its etiology not wholly clear. Asthma prevalence in childhood increased from 3.11% to 4.3% and this is especially prominent in Caucasians and in both sexes [10]. Follow-ups and treatment is difficult for the patient and her/his family due to the chronic nature of the disease and frequent exacerbation periods.…”

“…Asthma has been recognized as a heterogeneous disorder with a multifaceted phenotype in which complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors cause bronchial inflammation with variable, reversible airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation that produces characteristic clinical symptoms (1)(2)(3). Considerable overlap among several clinical variants and phenotypes described in both genders and in all ethnic groups has been considered to make an accurate and comprehensive phenotyping in asthma quite challenging with difficulties to identify a particular phenotype and direct appropriate treatment strategies (3).…”
