Abstract

This publication extends RAACI education in the field of allergology and immunology for allergologists, immunologists and other specialists, as well as for practitioners. It presents recent data and innovative approaches to the study of complex interactions of genetic, non-genetic and environment factors in allergies. It explains the importance of exposome-oriented approaches aimed to increase the treatment effectiveness and to decrease risks of allergy in addition to genome-oriented models of human diseases. Exposome concepts can be integrated into existing research programmes which are crucial in shaping new approaches to allergy treatment and prevention
