• Many genetic and environmental factors associated with bronchial asthma have been investigated. These include disease-related genome, obesity, smoking, and rhinitis. Several susceptibility loci for bronchial asthma were recently identified by genome-wide association study(GWAS). GWAS requires future functional analysis. Obesity, smoking, and rhinitis are each risk factor for development of asthma. Moreover, obesity as well as smoking is asso- ciated with severe or uncontrolled asthma.
