Abstract:

Allergic rhinitis is a disease of high prevalence and has exhibited a fairly rapid upward trend all over the world. This high prevalence translates into a high cost to society. There are still some unanswered questions related to the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of allergic rhinitis. The genetic study of allergic rhinitis is an effective way to detect novel mechanism, prevention and personalized drug therapy in allergic rhinitis individuals. The aim of this review is to elaborate on the methods and progress of the genetic study on allergic rhinitis.

Key words: allergic rhinitis, gene, genetics
