The genetics of asthma will be discussed only in the context of environmental exposures. In general, the identification of novel genes for asthma suggests that many genes with small effects, rather than a few genes with strong effects, contribute to the development of asthma. These genetic effects may, in part, differ with respect to a subject’s environmental exposures, although some genes may also exert their effect independently of the environment. (more…)

Allergies can be defined as inappropriate immune system reactions to a foreign substance entering body. Allergies are kind of diseases of immune system works to react to certain substances called allergens. Normally when a person is exposed to a harmless substance such as pollen, causes the body natural immune system to respond as if the substance is harmful. Some allergies are inherited from their parents or can be gained in environmental exposure. There are several common allergen exposures like mold, animal dander, pollen, dust mites, and many others.
