Background:

Atopy, an inherited predisposition to immediate hypersensitivity reactions, was first described in 1923.
The underlying genetic mechanisms of atopy have remained unclear and debated for many years.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the genetic basis of atopy.
To understand the inherited predisposition to immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions.

Main Methods:

Utilizing recent advancements in molecular biology.
Employing gene mapping techniques.

Main Results:

Significant progress has been made in understanding atopy genetics.
Improved knowledge of atopy's pathophysiological abnormalities.

Conclusions:

Recent molecular biology techniques have revitalized research into atopy genetics.
Substantial advancements in comprehending the inherited factors contributing to atopy.
