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…)

The manifestations of asthma and allergy are the result of both genetic predisposition and environmental factors. This relationship between genes and the environment is complex and has been the subject of intense investigation in recent years. The predisposition to asthma, unlike that to diseases determined by a single gene, is genetically complex. Consequently, it is thought that a number of genes, each with a relatively small contribution, collectively produce an individual’s genetic susceptibility profile. (more…)
