Abstract
A recent study has identified the variation in the ADAM33 gene as an important risk factor for asthma. This is not only good news for asthma sufferers, suggesting new directions for diagnostics and treatment, but also provides encouragement that unravelling the genetics of common diseases may not be quite as hard as had been feared.
摘要
最近的一项研究已确定ADAM33基因的变异是哮喘的一个重要风险因素。这对哮喘患者来说不仅是好消息，为诊断和治疗指明了新方向，也让人备受鼓舞，因为揭示常见疾病的遗传学奥秘或许并不像人们曾经担心的那么困难。
