Pharmacogenetic Factors Affecting Asthma Treatment Response. Potential Implications for Drug Therapy
Asthma is a frequent disease, mainly characterized by airway inflammation, in which drug therapy is crucial in its management. The potential of pharmacogenomics testing in asthma therapy has been, to date, little explored.

Human candidate gene polymorphisms and risk of severe malaria in children in Kilifi, Kenya: a case-control association study [PDF]
Background: Human genetic factors are important determinants of malaria risk. We investigated associations between multiple candidate polymorphisms—many related to the structure or function of red blood cells—and risk for severe Plasmodium falciparum ...
