    Asthma is caused by a combination of predisposing genetic factors and environmental triggers that lead to an inflammatory response and constriction of the airways. Exposure to allergens or pollutants can stimulate the production of IgE antibodies that activate mast cells to degranulate, causing bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and inflammation of the airways, making breathing difficult.
