Asthma also known as bronchial dichothesis, is an

inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract.

The disease involves uncontrolled bronchospasms.

It is connected with excessive production of antibodies,

which affect the proper answer of the immune system to allergenes.

In severe attack, untreated bronchical asthma may constitute a threat to life.

The most common symptoms of asthma are -cough, -difficulty catching your breath, -breathlessness, -feeling of tightness in the chest, -hissing breath.

It is estimated that there are about 300 mln people suffering from asthma in the world, and by 2025 this number may be increased by another 100 mln people.

What may cause asthma attacks? -exposure to allergenes, -physical effort, -stress, -respiratory system infections, -irritants (tobacco smoke, smog, aerosoles), -gastroesophageal reflux. Risk factors: -genetic condition, -allergies, -serious respiratory tract infections, -air pollution, -obesity, -exposure to chemical substances, tobacco smoke.

Test covers the analysis of 4740 genetic changes (SNP) in 81 genes:
