Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies linked childhood asthma with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ORM1-like protein 3 (ORMDL3) gene region on chromosome 17q21. We analyzed the effect of functional SNP rs2872507 in ORMDL3 gene region on the response to antiasthmatic treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and ORMDL3 gene expression. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s increased significantly by 13.3%...
