Abstract

Recently studies uncovered associations between polymorphisms of interleukin genes and the risk of asthma. However, the relationship between polymorphisms of interleukin-7 gene and the risk of children asthma has not been discovered yet. This study aims to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on interleukin-7 gene and the risk of children asthma. We genotyped eight SNPs of interleukin-7 gene in blood samples from 437 asthma patients and 489 healthy controls to analyze potential associations of these SNPs with the risk of asthma in children. A missense SNP rs766736182 (odds ratio (OR) = 2.185, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.561-2.252, P-value = 8.69468E-19) of the interleukin-7 gene is associated with the risk of children asthma. This study reveals that SNP rs766736182 of interleukin-7 is the risk factor for children asthma and implies potential role of immune system in the pathogenesis of children 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.

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.
