Abstract
Various smooth muscle-specific genes and proteins, including SMAD3, play a crucial role in airway remodeling associated with bronchial asthma (BA), significantly impacting the pathogenesis of this condition. Our study revealed that both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the general population were linked to an increased risk of developing BA. Specifically, rs17293632 was associated with a p-value of 6.0 × 10-4, and rs2033784 had a p-value of 0.0019. Additionally, we identified an association between the rs17293632 polymorphism and the risk of developing BA in girls, with a p-value of 2.0 × 10-4. The influence of the rs2033784 polymorphism on the increased risk of developing BA in girls was also confirmed, with a p-value of 6.0 × 10-4.
