As far I have not been able to get a straight answer whether Asthma can be inherited of not. What I find in http://www.asthmastory.com/ is asthma can be attributed to a virus and can be cured. In that case it should not be hereditary. However any useful comments will be appreciated.
Asthma is a multifactorial disease. It can be caused allergy, cold, exercise, emotional disturbances and such factors. Some degree of proneness to bronchial spasm could be hereditory, but to say that it is genetic is not entirely true.
Yes, asthma is a genetic disorder in most cases but it is also classed as a disease. Personally, i think it is a disease because asthma has cures, but disorders makes it sound worse and incurable. Yes, it is genetic. Yes, it is a disorder. Yes, it is also classed as a disease. and Yes, there are cures for asthma.

If one parent has or had asthma, then more chances to develop asthma . If both of your parents have asthma, you are even more likely to develop asthma than if only one parent has this conditio
If one identical twin has asthma, the other identical twin is more likely to have asthma than when one of two non-identical twin siblings (who share some but not all of their genes in common) has asthma.
yes I have it, but neither of my parents do. My particular case indicates that while it may be inherited, it isn't always so.
Asthma is mostly genetic but it can be a fault within a gene which can be corrected over time.

Yes. But asthma is caused mainly by the actions of the mother during gestation. Smoking and hereditiary issues makes the chances off offspring having asthma imminent.
Asthma is a genetic trait. It's autosomal, and can worsen with the environment you are raised in.
If your parents have asthma, there is a greater chance the child will because it's in there family history. In other words it's in your genes.
asthma yes allergies no
The causes of asthma are a mixture of genetic and environmental factors.
the answer is papaya
There are many causes of asthma. The factors range from environmental, such as pollution, to genetic factors. There are even causes linking asthma to tobacco use.
Asthma is not known to be communicable, so it is not "spread," per se. It is believed that some people are more susceptible to developing asthma, but this is thought to be a genetic predisposition.
You can't cure asthma, because of its genetic underline. This disease can be only be controled with long term medications, to prevent asthma attacks.
Asthma seems to be a genetic problem, so if your parents have asthma, chances are you will have it too. The number of people with asthma is increasing, so the chances of passing it on to future generations are high.
Asthma is not a contagious disease, since is not caused by any bacteria, viruses etc. This disease has mainly a genetic cause, so this is why it tends you run in families.
Asthma can not be transmitted from one person to another because it is not considered an infectiious disease. However, it can jbe spread due to the fact that People can inhale their asthma symptoms.
Asthma is caused by either genetic or environmental issues, or a combination of both. Thus it cannot be passed from person to person like some other illnesses.
Through genetic genes or develop it through child or adult hood :D
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
