The study, conducted by San Diego-based Sequana Therapeutics, focused on a remote population of people on the Island of Tristan da Cunha, located about 1,500 miles southwest of South Africa. Approximately 30 percent of the island's citizens have asthma, which they apparently inherited from an original settler.
