Description : Eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) has an incidence of approximately 1 per 10,000 people.
Symptoms include difficulty feeding, failure to thrive, vomiting, epigastric or chest
pain, dysphagia, and food impaction. Individuals with EOE are predominantly young
males with a high rate of atopic disease, and the diagnosis is made by endoscopy and
biopsy findings of isolated eosinophils in the esophagus (summary by Rothenberg et
al., 2010). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Eosinophilic Esophagitis Eosinophilic esophagitis-1
(EOE1) is associated with variation at chromosome 7q11.2. Another locus (EOE2; 613412)
has been been associated with variation in the TSLP gene (607003) on chromosome 5q22.;
