Childhood asthma risk appears to be influenced by both the intestinal microbiome and 17q12-21 genotype

Childhood asthma is a condition that may be affected by different types of factors. These include the state of the infant's gut microbiome, environmental factors, and genetic factors. A recent study attempted to shed more light on how asthma risk is linked to a combination of these factors, some of which are modifiable.
