Read our Asthma research guide βResearchers want to understand why asthma affects people differently β why some people have mild asthma while others have severe, hard-to-treat asthma. This study will look at genetic differences in Chinese patients with asthma to find out which genes may play a role in asthma severity and how asthma develops.
Most genetic research on asthma has focused on people of European descent, leaving big gaps in understanding how asthma genetics work in Chinese populations. This study aims to fill that gap and help doctors better understand why some people develop more severe asthma and how genes and environment interact to cause the disease.

You will visit Prince of Wales Hospital as an outpatient, provide a blood sample for genetic testing, and share your medical history and asthma information with the research team. The study compares 1,000 people with asthma to 1,000 healthy people matched by age, sex, and ethnicity to find genetic patterns that may explain differences in asthma severity.
