Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which there isincreased responsiveness to various stimuli, resulting in wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. Interactions between environmental and genetic factors may modify both the susceptibility to and severity of the disease. In recent years, much progress has been made in improving our understanding of the genetic basis of bronchial asthma, which has led to the identification of several genetic factors. This review is an update of genetic studies of bronchial asthma and recent findings.
