title: [Genetic aspects of atopic diseases in children].
abstract: Atopic diseases is a group of pathologic conditions with polygenic inheritance the development of which is governed by familial predetermination to allergy. This review summarizes results of research on pathogenetic mechanisms of atopic diseases and their clinical features. Analysis includes the structure of hereditary predetermination to allergic reactions and diseases, risk of their development in subsequent generations, the role of age, sex, and ethnic background in pathogenesis of atopic diseases and formation of allergic constitution governed by genotype and environment. Polymorphisms of candidate genes responsible for atopic diseases are considered along with their response to basal pharmacotherapy.
