British scientists discovered a gene that can prevent allergy that triggers the illness and pain especially at this time a large proportion of the world's population.
The gene, named PHF-11, appears to regulate the blood cells that produce antibodies that are directly related to asthma. The discovery of the gene provides a new target for drugs designed to «erase» the immunoglobulin E antibody to prevent asthma.
The gene was discovered in the laboratories of Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford by Dr teachers. And Dr Miriam Mofat. William Koukson.
Dr. Koukson said: «The discovery of this gene adds a new dimension to the understanding of asthma and other allergic diseases, but has not yet been fully completed. There are at least ten genes that have a significant impact on a person's susceptibility to asthma and more genes with smaller effects ».
The survey, which lasted more than six years, attended by more doctors and scientists. The survey results were published in the online edition of the scientific form Nature Genetics.
