Best Answer: The biggest reason was that Britain started the Industrial Revolution earlier than other countries. Because they had newer technology, they could sell it to other countries to make money, and also use it to conquer other places.
1 Atopic dermatitis (AD) with Filaggrin (FLG) mutations is associated with an increased SC IL-1 cytokine profile; this profile is also seen in a murine homologue of filaggrin deficiency. 2  FLG mutations increase the risk for persistent dry skin, persistent eczema, and AE and non-AE at age 8 years. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding FLG are linked with IV in Northern European and Japanese populations and results here demonstrate that FLG mutations are also associated with IV in a Bangladeshi population.
Arg677stop and 2280del5 are the much studied RP1 mutations. 1  Autosomal Recessive retinitis pigmentosa â these are rarer genetic mutations. RPE65 (expressed in the RPE), and PDE6A and PDE6B cause 2-5% of cases and mutations in USH2A may account for up to 5% of autosomal recessive cases. X-Linked retinitis pigmentosa â in this type common mutations are seen in RPGR (also called RP3) and RP2 genes. They account for 70-90% and 10-20%, respectively of all X linked cases. Mitochondrial Genes Causing Nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa include mutations in the MT-TS2. Digenic retinitis pigmentosa â this is caused by combined presence of a mutation in the RDS gene and a mutation in the ROM1 gene.
