Chronic respiratory diseases are determined by genetic predisposition, and environmental and socioeconomic variables. One genetic factor underlying susceptibility to such diseases can be the ABO blood group system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that there would be a relationship between the blood group and risk of developing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Iwona Karpeta-Pawlak"

  • - Iwona Karpeta-Pawlak's research primarily explores the relationship between genetic factors, specifically the ABO blood group system, and the susceptibility to chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • - The study published in "Adv Exp Med Biol" suggests that genetic predisposition, along with environmental and socioeconomic variables, plays a significant role in the incidence of these chronic conditions.
  • - The findings reinforce the hypothesis that individuals with certain blood groups may have a different risk profile for developing asthma and COPD, highlighting the importance of genetic factors in the understanding of these diseases.
