The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 04/12/2011

Important additions since 2007 include genetic underpinnings that implicate EoE susceptibility caused by polymorphisms in the thymic stromal lymphopoietin protein gene and the description of a new potential disease phenotype, proton pump inhibitor–responsive esophageal eosinophila.
