This document summarizes research from the MeDALL project investigating the mechanisms of allergy development. It discusses: 1) Analyzing data from 12 birth cohorts involving over 16,000 children to identify classical and novel phenotypes of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema, finding high levels of comorbidity between the conditions. 2) Developing a new microarray to improve detection of allergen sensitization across Europe. 3) Conducting the first epigenome-wide analysis of asthma and allergy combining multiple countries and time points, identifying several genome-wide significant hits. 4) Using targeted proteomics to identify protein biomarkers associated with asthma/allergy and integrating these findings with genetic
