Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Crohn's disease linked to asthma A surprising link between Crohn's disease and asthma has been discovered by scientists looking into the genetic causes of the bowel disorder. Researchers found that a gene called ORMDL3, known to be a risk factor for childhood asthma, was also associated with Crohn's. Links between the condition and other diseases were also uncovered by the study, which found a clutch of new Crohn's related genes. http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5grvzCxBs7aHGpfRmn19N_x8POLgg Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
