flag Study finds early exposure to dogs may prevent eczema in genetically predisposed children.

flag A new study from the University of Edinburgh suggests that having a pet dog in early life may help prevent eczema in children with a genetic predisposition to the condition. flag Researchers examined data from 280,000 people and found that those genetically predisposed to eczema were less likely to develop it if they had early exposure to dogs. flag The study also identified a potential link between this exposure and variations in the IL-7R protein, which could offer targets for future eczema treatments.
