Reports in the media describing the discovery of ''the asthma gene'' or ''a new vaccine for asthma'' maybe inaccurate and often raise patients' hopes unjustifiably.

I have tried to explain the thinking behind some of the approaches under study I discuss the potential contributions of genetic studies, immunological approaches, and new therapeutic approaches.
