Abstract
Context and objective: The findings showed that the low-affinity IgE receptor plays a pivotal role in allergic immune response and it is a pharmacogenetic predictor in asthma disease. This study aims to investigate the association of genetic variations: rs28364072 and rs7249320 with asthma and its severity in north Indian children.
Methods: Case-control-based genetic association study was performed among 550 children.
Results: Statistical analysis demonstrated significant association between asthma and genotypes frequency of both the SNPs.
Conclusions: Our data indicate that the studied variations are strongly associated with asthma susceptibility and might be risk factor among north Indian asthmatic children.
