Allergies tend to run in families and thus genetic susceptibility is suggested however

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While there is evidence to suggest a genetic influence on allergies, the influence appears to be modest at best. This means that while genetics may play some role in allergies, environmental factors likely play a significant role as well. The other options presented are not accurate: research does support a genetic influence (albeit a modest one), a number of genes have been implicated, and there is evidence that genetic influence may interact with environmental factors.
