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.
