Mitochondrial haplogroup M contributes to asthma risk in the Kuwaiti population
Our findings suggest that mitochondrial haplogroup M and specific mtDNA variants contribute to asthma susceptibility in the Kuwaiti population. These insights provide a foundation for future research on mitochondrial genetic influences in asthma and highlight the need for larger studies to validate these associations and explore potential therapeutic implications.
