The gene that causes asthma

Scientists at the University of Toronto, Canada, found for the first time a gene involved in 20 percent of asthma cases. The gene discovery, which was cloned, to find more effective drugs for the treatment of this disease increases dramatically throughout the world.

In about 5 years, ia new medication will be available and will be developed by a Swiss company that is investigating what protein the gene encodes found, for a molecule capable of blocking the action of it.
