Objectives:
A number of studies conducted to assess the association between Clara cell 10-kDa protein (CC10) +38A/G polymorphism and susceptibility to asthma have yielded inconsistent and inconclusive results. In the present study, the possible association was assessed by a meta-analysis.
Methods:
Relevant articles were identified for the period ranging from Jan 1998 up to March 2013. Pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were appropriately derived from fixed effects or random-effects models.
Results:
Ten case-control studies with a total of 1529 asthma cases and 2399 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The association between CC10 +38A/G polymorphism and asthma risk was determined in dominant model, recessive model, additive model, and codominant model. In dominant model, CC10 +38A/G polymorphism seemed to be associated with elevated asthma risk (OR = 1.62; 95% CI, 1.23-2.12; P = 0.0005). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity also found significant associations between this polymorphism and asthma risk in Asians and Caucasians. RESULTS from other genetic models further identified this possible association.
Conclusion:
This meta-analysis suggests that CC10 +38A/G polymorphism confers asthma risk.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
