Background Personalized asthma medicine research identifies critical genes like ADRB2
and ADH5 that affect disease and treatment outcomes, necessitating a deeper exploration of …

Background Rates of asthma in Jordan have been doubled in the past decade, but this
increased prevalence was not met with improved asthma control protocols. The aim of the …

As environmental factors are important in the development of asthma, genetic factors could
have a critical role in the expression of the disease. Hence, we carried out a systematic …

RESULTS: Presently, there are limited examples of gene polymorphism that can influence
response to asthma therapy. Polymorphisms that alter response to asthma therapy include …

Background Asthma is recognized as a complex, multifactorial disease with a genetic
component that is well recognized. Certain genetic variants are associated with asthma in a …

Objective. Genetic heterogeneity and risk factor distribution was analyzed in two previously
proposed asthma phenotypes. Method. A sample of 412 subjects was investigated at 7‐8 …

Aim: To evaluate whether SNPs (n= 15) in ten candidate genes (ADRB2, ADH5, ARGI,
CRHR1, STIP1, LTA4H, LTC4S, ALOX5, ABCC1 and OATP2B1) are associated with asthma …

Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in developed nations and its
prevalence has increased in the world over the last 25 years. It is a complex disease with …

Objectives To study the association of β2-drenergic receptor (ADRB2) regulatory region
single nucleotides polymorphism (SNP)/haplotypes at rs11168070, rs17108803, rs2053044 …
