Genetic and Molecular Contributors in Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

[{"label":"PURPOSE OF REVIEW","text":"Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory esophageal disorder with a complex underlying genetic and molecular etiology. The interest of the scientific community in EoE has grown considerably over the past three decades, and the understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in this disease has greatly increased."},{"label":"RECENT FINDINGS","text":"In this article, we aim to provide both historic aspects and updates on the recent genetic and molecular advances in the understanding of EoE. Although EoE is a relatively newly described disorder, much progress has been made toward identifying the genetic and molecular factors contributing to the disease pathogenesis by a variety of approaches with next-generation sequencing technologies, including genome-wide association study, whole exome sequencing, and bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing. This review highlights the multifaceted impacts of various findings that have shaped the current molecular and genetic landscape of EoE, providing insights that facilitate further understanding of the disease process."},{"copyright":"\u00a9 2023.
