Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Gene Variations, Secondhand Smoke Linked to Early Asthma Certain genetic variations previously identified as putting people at higher risk for asthma apparently only increase the risk of so-called early-onset asthma, which is disease that appears at 4 years of age or younger. The risk is further increased by exposure to secondhand smoke, again early in life, according to a study in the Oct. 16 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. http://tinyurl.com/3umeb5 Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
