Childhood onset asthma... Genetic?

THIS is interesting.

The above article suggests that researchers have found a genetic mutation that causes childhood onset asthma. If true and they can figure out which gene it is, better treatments will be able to be developed. This could make a world of difference to the 9 million children in the US with asthma.

(And if they develop something for adults, you bet I'll be the first to go to my doctor to learn more about it!)
