Pooled genome-wide analysis to identify novel risk loci for pediatric allergic asthma.

<h4>Background</h4>Genome-wide association studies of pooled DNA samples were shown to be a valuable tool to identify candidate SNPs associated to a phenotype. No such study was up to now applied to childhood allergic asthma, even if the very high complexity of asthma genetics is an appr...
