Childhood asthma linked to lower lung function over time

A genetic analysis of 5,165 participants linked childhood-onset asthma to lower lung-function patterns over time, with an estimated odds ratio of 9.62.A genetic analysis of 5,165 participants linked childhood-onset asthma to lower lung-function patterns over time, with an estimated odds ratio of 9.62.
