Multi-omics approach offers new insights into peanut allergy severity

(The Mount Sinai Hospital / Mount Sinai School of Medicine) Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified novel genes associated with the severity of peanut allergy, as well as ways in which these genes interact with other genes during allergic reactions. The findings, published December 12 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, could lead to better treatments for peanut allergy.
