Abstract
Background
Single nucleotide polymorphic variants of chromosome 17q21 potential candidate genes have been found to associate with asthma predisposition in many ethnically diverse populations. Identifying the potential SNPs, that are associated with asthma in a certain population, may lead to early diagnosis of genetic predisposition, thus reducing the treatment cost by timely management. This research work was planned to study the association of SNPs residing on chromosome 17q21, with asthma, in the Pathan population of Pakistan.
Methods
Sixty- two physician-diagnosed bronchial asthma cases and one hundred, age and gender-matched, control subjects of the Pathan ethnic group were enrolled for this study. Five SNPs from 17q21 were analyzed for their association with asthma by the Single Base Extension method using capillary-based electrophoresis. Allelic, dominant and recessive genotypic association analyses were done by PLINK and SHEsis plus version beta software, followed by Haploview v4.1 analysis of relevant haplotypes.
Results
Out of five studied SNPs, rs8076131 was significantly associated with bronchial asthma whereas rs9894164 tended to show a marginal association. Haplotype ‘TATT’ seemed to be a marginal risk factor associated with bronchial asthma in the studied population.
Conclusion
rs8076131 may be used as a predictive indicator of Bronchial Asthma development in risk allele carriers of Pathan ethnicity.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
