Every day in the United States, 40,000 people miss school or work
due to asthma. Since the 1980s, the number of asthma cases has been
increasing worldwide. Though there is no cure for asthma, treatment
and avoidance of asthma triggers can keep the disease under control
for most people. If a parent has asthma, there is a one-in-three
chance his or her child will develop asthma. But inheriting asthma
is not as simple as a single 'asthma gene'. An entire set of genes
is involved, combined with the exposure to certain substances in
the environment. Asthma researchers are making exciting and complex
discoveries about the genetic and environmental causes of asthma,
which may eventually lead to asthma prevention. Advances in genetic
engineering techniques provide new tools for developing treatments
that can be customized for a variety of forms of asthma. ""Asthma""
describes the complex relationships among genes, the environment,
and asthma, and how scientists are using this information to
improve the lives of people dealing with asthma.
