TY - JOUR ID - 485837 AU - Izakovičová Hollá, Lydie - Bučková, Dana - Kuhrová, Viera - Stejskalová, Andrea - Francová, Hana - Znojil, Vladimír - Vácha, Jiří PY - 2002 TI - Prevalence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms in patients with atopic asthma JF - Allergy VL - 57 IS - Suppl.73 SP - 318 EP - 318 PB - Munksgaard International Publishers SN - 01054538 KW - gene KW - polymorphism KW - nitric oxide synthase KW - NOS3 KW - asthma N2 - Asthma is a common multifactorial disease, the aetiology of which is attributable to both environmental and genetic factors. The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been implicated in asthma pathogenesis. This study investigated associations of 27 base-pair tandem repeat polymorphism in intron 4 and the Glu298Asp (G894T) variant of the NOS3 gene with atopic asthma in a Czech population. Polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the NOS3 genotypes in subjects with atopic asthma (n=163) and random controls (n=209). The NOS3 allele of genotype distributions did not differ significantly between the control and asthma groups. However, the common genotype (bb) of the NOS3 polymorphism in intron 4 was found to be significantly associated with total IgE levels (P=0.004). In one atopic patient, we identified an additional 27-bp repeat in the NOS3 gene (NOS3c), which occured in heterozygous combination with the NOS3b allele (NOS3b/c genotype). In addition, we describe a new polymorphism (A5495G) in the NOS3 gene, which was in almost complete linkage disequilibrium with the NOS3 repeat polymorphism in intron 4. The Glu298Asp variant was not associated with asthma and/or related atopic phenotypes in our study. Neither the NOS3 'b' allelle nor the NOS3 'b/b' genotype showed any general association with atopic asthma, but they were associated with atopy-related phenotypes. We conclude that the NOS3 gene polymorphisms may act as disease modifiers in atopic asthma phenotype in our population. ER -
