A new study conducted by a team of British researchers has found that the risk of developing allergic diseases, such as asthma, is high in an individual if a parent of the same sex has the allergy.
More than 1,450 patients were observed from birth for over a period of 23 years by researchers at Southampton General Hospital who found that the risk of asthma in boys rose by two times if the fathers also suffered from the same condition while the risk of asthma in girls was linked to similar condition in the mothers.
Dealing with Pollen Allergy
The plants around you that give you sniffles in your nose at specific time of the year are the source of allergy causing pollens.

“With these groundbreaking findings, we should see a change in the way we assess a child's risk of disease, asking girls for the allergy history of their mother and boys for that of their father. This work also opens up novel areas for further research in the genetics of allergy as to why this sex-dependent effect occurs and, if we can find the reason, we can try to find a way of preventing sex-specific disease”, lead researcher Professor Hasan Arshad said.
