While there are strong links between asthma and genetics, not everyone with a family history of asthma will develop it. Asthma can also occur in people with no family history of the condition.

Despite what was previously thought, new research has shown that genetic changes alone cannot explain why and where tumors grow in those with the genetic condition neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1).
