Abstract

Superoxide produced by airway epithelial and inflammatory cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma. NADPH oxidase (an enzyme complex made up of 5 subunits) is a major source of superoxide in cells. We sought to elucidate the role of genetic variability in the gene encoding the p22(phox) subunit of the NADPH oxidase (CYBA, 16q24.3) in asthma susceptibility by means of an association study of haplotypes based on 3 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), -930A/G, 242C/T (H72Y) and 640A/G. SNPs were genotyped by PCR-RFLP methods in a cohort of age- and sex-matched subjects with bronchial asthma (n = 305) and healthy controls (n = 311). Haplotypes were constructed in silico using a Monte Carlo-based algorithm. Furthermore, association of SNPs with sensitization to selected allergens (total 15 tested by skin prick test positivity/negativity) was analyzed. In a single locus analysis, SNPs 242C/T and 640A/G were marginally significantly associated with asthma (p = 0.036 and 0.036, respectively). SNP 640A/G showed a significant association with sensitization to 2 allergens tested (p(corr) < 0.02). Haplotype analysis identified a total of 8 haplotypes with population frequencies from 0.07 to 0.22. Distribution of haploty...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
