• Description:
  Molecular epidemiological studies have identified a number of genetic variations within immune/inflammatory genes as susceptibility factors for common immune-mediated/chronic inflammatory diseases, including many pulmonary disorders. Data are now accumulating on their role in diseases of occupational and environmental origin. Some susceptibility factors are shared between different pulmonary disorders, indicating a common immunological and genetic background. This chapter focuses on immunogenetic predisposition to pulmonary disorders, particularly those that can be related to occupational exposures such as occupational asthma, chronic beryllium disease, coal workers' pneumoconiosis, and silicosis.
