A member asked:
What number of genes have been associated with asthma to date?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult call: At present there have been some associations made between certain genes and diseases like asthma. However, the actual strength of this relationship has not been as concrete as we would like. AS far as the number, the association is not a single gene but quite a few making it difficult to pin down the culprit gene(s). Check U. of Pittsburgh, I hear they're doing a lot of work in this area.
