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.
Germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes increase a womanâs risk of developing hereditary breast or ovarian cancers. The most commonly mutated gene in people who have cancer is p53. In fact, more than 50% of all cancers involve a missing or damaged p53 gene. Most p53 gene mutations are acquired mutations.
