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.
