An international genome study identifies more than 100 genetic risk factors that explain why some people suffer from asthma, hay fever and eczema.
Dr. Manuel Ferreira from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, said, it is the first study to find genetic risk factors shared among allergic conditions. The three most common allergic conditions, such as Asthma, hay fever and eczema affect different parts of the body.
The three diseases shared many genetic risk factors. But, we didn’t know exactly where the genetic risk factors located.
