Asthma genetics involve complex gene-environment interactions. This review highlights specific gene mutations and polymorphisms linked to asthma, though their precise role in the asthmatic phenotype requires further definition.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and inflammation.
  • Its complex etiology arises from interactions between genetic factors and environmental triggers like allergens and pathogens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review identified mutations and polymorphisms in candidate asthma genes.
  • To discuss their potential association with the asthmatic phenotype.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of genetic studies on asthma.
  • Focus on candidate genes involved in immune response and inflammation.

Main Results:

  • Several candidate asthma genes have been identified, including those for cytokine receptors and inflammatory mediators.

  • Specific polymorphisms exist in genes like the high affinity IgE receptor and beta2-adrenergic receptor.

    • Conclusions:

    • Genetic polymorphisms in candidate asthma genes are associated with asthma risk.
    • The exact contribution of these genetic variations to the asthmatic phenotype is still under investigation.
