Asthma genetics and epigenetics

Guest Editors: Kari Nadeau (Stanford University, USA) and Rachel Miller (Columbia Medical University, USA)

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology and Clinical Epigenetics present 'Asthma genetics and epigenetics', a cross-journal thematic series. This series aims to highlight the epigenetic mechanisms and genetic factors which contribute to the pathogenesis and epidemiology of asthma.

This collection of articles has not been sponsored and articles have undergone the journal's standard peer-review process.

The collection is still open for submissions.
