“This is one of the first studies to report that children with certain genetic backgrounds are even more susceptible to asthma than if they lived near major roads and did not carry the variations,” Salam says. “We are working to understand how traffic-related exposures may interact with the...

There are many ways to intervene. For example, if our genetic test indicates that we have agenetic predisposition to asthma, we can act on the environmental factors that favor it: adopting a healthy lifestyle, trying to avoid bad weather, or staying away from tobacco.Tobacco, the recurrent r...
A wide spectrum of inherited and sporadic genetic abnormalities predisposes individuals to increased risks of developing hematopoietic and lymphoid disorders. Each of these genetic abnormalities is associated with a syndrome with characteristic clinical
Asthma and Genetic Predisposition It’s widely known that asthma runs in families. Having a parent with asthma means you have three to six times the odds of having asthma compared to someone without this family background, notes theAmerican Lung Association. ...

A healthy sleep pattern seems to be linked to a lower risk of asthma, prompting the researchers to suggest that spotting and treating sleep disorders early on might lessen the risks, irrespective ofgenetic predisposition. People with asthma often report sleep disturbances, including broken/short sleep...
