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.
MTHFR gene mutation is a genetic change that affects an enzyme involved in breaking down the amino acid homocysteine. C677T and A1298C are two very common MTHFR gene changes. In America, about 25% of people who are Hispanic, and 10-15% of people who are Caucasian have two copies of C677T. These gene changes have been studied as possible risk factors for many common conditions.
