We get sick with pollen because of our dads and moms

Pollinosis can be a genetic disorder, according to scientists. During the largest research on this issue in history, they linked 20 new genes with this common allergic disease.

Almost 10% of the victims of pollinosis can blame their ancestors for this disease, as shown by the most significant study on this issue involving 900,000 people. Science calls this disorder an allergic rhinitis, pollinosis is one of the most common allergies on the planet. Medic Forum reminds that its symptoms occur at a time when the immune system responds to plant pollen and dust. Science still can not fully understand why the body of some people is facing this allergy, but the study has now revealed 20 new genes that can be responsible for this condition.

Some of these genes alter DNA in the immune system, which can explain how the body begins to react to pollen. The researchers almost doubled the number of genes associated with pollinosis. Scientists are sure that this can help improve the treatment of allergies. It is also alleged that about 32 million people on our planet, who every year suffer from a runny nose and profuse lacrimation during the active flowering of plants, should blame their DNA for this. In general, on our planet, more than 400 million people suffer from hay fever.

Scientists have studied the differences in genetics between different people, both having and not having pollinosis. 42 genes were established, which increase the risk of allergy. Researchers have identified more than 20 genetic differences associated with pollinosis, of which earlier science did not know anything.
