Abstract
In this paper, we confirmed previous studies where the results showed an incomplete genetic predisposition to allergic asthma. Our results also showed that by using the degree of sensitivity to methacholine and Gm allotypes one can obtain a better characterization than presently available of individual susceptibility to asthma in a familial setting.
