Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in developed nations [ 1], affecting more than 155 million individuals. The cost of treating the disease in the USA alone approximates 6 billion dollars per annum [ 2]. Asthma is a complex disease that has proven extremely difficult to dissect genetically [ 3]. Considerable effort is currently being expended in attempts to detect genetic loci contributing to asthma susceptibility [ 4–7], with the ultimate goal of improving preventive strategies, diagnostic tools and therapies. However, no specific major gene exhibiting functional effects has been mapped to date.

Abstract
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in developed nations [ 1], affecting more than 155 million individuals. The cost of treating the disease in the USA alone approximates 6 billion dollars per annum [ 2]. Asthma is a complex disease that has proven extremely difficult to dissect genetically [ 3]. Considerable effort is currently being expended in attempts to detect genetic loci contributing to asthma susceptibility [ 4–7], with the ultimate goal of improving preventive strategies, diagnostic tools and therapies. However, no specific major gene exhibiting functional effects has been mapped to date.
