Description
Summary:With an aim to demonstrate the parental effect of asthma and to determine the relative contribution of family history as a potential risk factor in adult onset asthma and its mode of inheritance, and to investigate the effect of consanguinity in adult onset asthma, the present study was undertaken on consecutive patients attending a tertiary care asthma centre (Allergy, Asthma, and Chest Center) in Mysore, Karnataka, India, during 2009-2010. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess independent association of variables found to be significant in univariate analysis. [...]it was observed that family history of asthma conferred a great risk in developing new onset asthma in adults.
