Chronic rhinitis can be classified as allergic rhinitis (AR), when an allergen is involved as the trigger for nasal symptoms,2 and non‐AR (NAR), when rhinitis occurs without clinical signs of infection (discolored secretions) and without systemic signs of allergic inflammation (allergen‐specific IgE in blood and/or positive skin prick test).1 The gene discussed is IGHE; the disease is rhinitis.
