Allergic Conditions: Atopy

Atopy is a term that refers to the genetic tendency to develop the "classical" allergic diseases, namely, allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis. Atopy is typically associated with a genetically determined capacity to mount IgE responses to common allergens, especially inhaled allergens and food allergens.
