1Krasnoyarsk State Medical University named after of professor V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Department of internal diseases №1, Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
Aim:
To study the association of mononucleotide polymorphism rs6737848 SOCS5 gene with the risk of development of allergic bronchial asthma.
Materials And Methods:
Totally 59 patients studied (19 males, 40 females) with allergic bronchial asthma and 50 healthy people (29 males, 21 females) of controls. All patients underwent clinical and instrumental and laboratory investigations in KICH №20 (Krasnoyarsk city) and molecular-genetic investigation of DNA in the Russia-Italian laboratory "MAGI" (Krasnoyarsk city) and Institution of Internal and Preventive Medicine (Novosibirsk city). Statistics included standard programs: Statistica for Windows 7.0.
Results:
The results of the study showed statistical predominance of prevalent genotype СС of SOCS5 gene in allergic bronchial asthma patients, comparing to control group.
Conclusion:
Homozygous genotype of СС gene of SOCS5 is a risk factor for allergic bronchial asthma.

Asthma-I: Introduction
The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

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.
