Abstract

Topicality. The search for the associations of functionally polymorphisms of gene cytokines as potential markers of the disease, which influence both immune response and inflammatory process, is an actual aim of studying immune genetic factors of atopic bronchial asthma (ABA). Aim. To study the associations of polymorphisms of IL5 (rs2069812), IL12B (rs3212227), TGFB1 (rs1800469), IFNG (rs2069705) with ABA in depends from the stage of the disease control. Methods. For genotyping we have used PCR-PLRF-analysis. Results. No statistically significant difference was found in the distribution of the IL5, IL12B, TGFB1, IFNG polymorphisms between ABA patients and controls in this case-control study. The distribution of the frequencies of gene variants corresponded to the Europeans. Conclusions. As a result of our research we didn’t find any associations between polymorphisms of IL5, IL12B, TGFB1, IFNG genes and ABA including the level of the disease control.
