Objective: The aim of this study was to identify asthma phenotypes in patients of Niue Island ancestry that might be suitable for susceptibility gene mapping studies.
Methodology: Two hundred and sixteen Niue Islanders with physician-diagnosed asthma that was not secondary to other medical conditions were recruited through community organisations. Fifty-one of the subjects with asthma were resident on Niue Island and 165 in New Zealand.
