An international study by the GABRIEL consortium, a collaboration of 164 scientists from 19 countries in Europe, co-ordinated by researchers from Imperial College London, has analysed DNA samples from 10,000 children and adults with asthma and 16,000 non-asthmatics. Having performed more than half a million genetic tests on each subject, covering all the genes in the human genome, the study has pinpointed seven locations on the genome where differences in the genetic code are associated with asthma.
