Role of polymorphic variants of NO synthase and arginase genes in child bronchial asthma

Abstract

The results of associations study of NO-synthase and arginase genes and asthma of children living in Moscow are presented. 207 children and adolescents are examined (107 with asthma and 100 healthy controls). Analysis of polymorphism of NOS1 , NOS2 , NOS3 , ARG1, ARG2 genes was carried out. The association of asthma and polymorphic variants CCTTTn of NOS2A gene was established in the total group and in the groups of boys and girls. Gender differences were revealed. Significant gene-gene interactions of polymorphic loci of the studied genes NO-synthase and arginase in the asthma development were determined. Associations of combinations of NOS2А (CCTTT)n*SL x ARG2 (rs3742879)*AA genotypes with the increased risk of asthma development in girls has been revealed.
