UT Southwestern Medical Center Uses Advanced Whole Exome Sequencing To Uncover Specific Genetic Variants
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center used advanced whole exome sequencing to uncover specific genetic variants that help explain why food allergies often run in families and why some individuals develop multiple food allergies, finding that nearly 40 % of study participants carried rare loss-of-function mutations in genes associated with allergy risk. The findings suggest that more comprehensive genetic testing could improve diagnosis and inform targeted treatments for the millions affected by food allergies.
