Abstract EN
Polymorphisms in the gene encoding for A disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) are closely associated with the risk of bronchial asthma attacks in different populations.
We collected blood samples from 248 asthma patients – 130 of the Han ethnic group and 118 of the Mongolian ethnic group – living in the Inner Mongolia region of China, and analyzed the single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) of the T1, T2 and V4 loci of the ADAM33 gene using PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism).
In addition, we also tested 256 healthy controls (134 and 122 from the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups respectively) for the same SNPs.
Three genotypes of the T1, T2 and V4 loci were predominantly detected: while polymorphisms in the T1 locus were significantly associated with asthma risk in both Mongolian and Han ethnicities (P < 0.05, ⁄P < 0.05), that in the V4 locus were relevant only in the Mongolian patients (P < 0.05, ⁄P > 0.05).
In contrast, polymorphisms in the T2 locus showed no significant association with asthma risk in either ethnic group (P > 0.05, ⁄P > 0.05).
