141 genes may help explain the genetic risk of asthma, hay fever and eczema
Recently,a research report published in the international magazine Human Molecular Genetics, scientists from Uppsala University discovered 141 genes through research, which can help explain the genetic risk of asthma, hay fever and eczema to a large extent, the genetic risk that occurred, of which 41 genes were not previously found by researchers, are associated with an increased risk of the above mentioned diseases.
Individuals with asthma, hay fever, and eczema are often affected by genetic, environmental, and life factors. Patients with one of these diseases often have two other diseases in their lifetime,although previous studies have shown that many genes may exert some effects on these diseases, researchers still cannot explain the genetic background behind the origin of the three diseases.
Researcher Weronica Ek said that for those who are interested in participating in similar research, they can get basic information about heredity. The results we get from analyzing DNA may only be related to the disease risk of the population, and this edge is not Corresponding diagnosis, external factors also affect these complex disease characteristics, but the increased risk does not mean that the individual will suffer from the disease.The researchers point out that we have found that a large number of genes increase the risk of asthma, hay fever and eczema in individuals, which in turn suggests an increased risk of allergies when diagnosed with asthma, or when diagnosed as allergic. The risk of asthma also increases, which seems to depend on the genetic factors of the body.
All three diseases are caused by complex associations between multiple genes and environmental and life factors. In order to improve the daily life of patients, it seems very important to develop new drugs to adapt to the individual's own genetic risks, and to understand the environment and How lifestyles inhibit disease and improve the symptoms of patients' diseases is also particularly important.Finally, the researcher Ek said that the results of this study may help us understand why the risk of asthma and allergies in specific populations is high. Later, we will delve into the research results and develop new clinical diagnostic techniques and new drugs.
