N-Acetyltransferase genotypes as modifiers of diisocyanate exposure-associated asthma risk

Pharmacogenetics
H WikmanA Hirvonen

Abstract

We observed previously that polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes modified allergic responses to diisocyanate exposure. Here, we extended the study to examine the possible role of N-acetyltransferase (NAT) genotypes in the development of diisocyanate-induced ill effects, both separately and in combination with the previously examined GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTP1 and GSTT1 genotypes. The study population comprised 182 diisocyanate-exposed workers, 109 of whom were diagnosed with diisocyanate-induced asthma and 73 of whom had no symptoms of asthma. The diisocyanates to which the workers had been exposed to were diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI). The NAT2 genotype did not have any significant effect on the risk of developing asthma, but the putative slow acetylator NAT1 genotypes posed a 2.54-fold risk of diisocyanate-induced asthma (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32 to 4.91). The effect of the NAT1 genotype was especially marked for workers exposed to TDI, among whom the NAT1 slow acetylator genotypes posed a 7.77-fold risk of asthma (95% CI 1.18 to 51.6). Statistically significant increases in asthma risk were also observed among the whole study population...Continue Reading

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.

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.
