A Consideration of the Influence of Hereditary as Opposed to Environmental Factors in the Genesis of Asthma

Krasner, George (1936) A Consideration of the Influence of Hereditary as Opposed to Environmental Factors in the Genesis of Asthma. MD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

It is proposed in this thesis to inquire into the parts played by heredity and environment respectively in the etiology of asthma, with the hope that the responsibility of each of these factors may be more correctly evaluated and treatment adopted accordingly; or in the instances where heredity is important, if, as Penrose 93) aptly remarks, "we can by artificial means neautralise the injurious hereditary effects, the importance of heredity from the medical point of view is very much diminished.".
