When the airways are irritated by these substances the muscles around the airways tighten and narrows the airways. The narrowing airways then cause a lack of air flow into the lungs

research done on asthma and genetics and this research is ongoing. Some research on this is pointing at a synergistic nature within the pathophysiology of asthma. “Polymorphisms in the gene that encodes platelet-activating factor hydrolase‚ an intrinsic neutralizing agent of platelet-activating factor in most humans‚ may play a role in susceptibility to asthma and asthma severity” (Morris & Pearson‚ 2016). There has been evidence which has suggested that the prevalence of asthma is reduced in association
