Asthma affects more than 300 million people globally and is both under diagnosed and under treated. The most recent and largest genome-wide association study investigating moderate to severe asthma to date was carried out in 2019 and identified 25 in...

Asthma is a heterogeneous respiratory disease that can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors leading to disease susceptibility and progression. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma have yielded replicated findings and identif... Read More about Genetics of Asthma: Insights From Genome Wide Association Studies.
