The ORMDL3 Asthma Gene Regulates ICAM1 and Has Multiple Effects on Cellular Inflammation
19 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Polymorphisms on chromosome 17q21 confer the major genetic susceptibility to childhood-onset asthma. Risk alleles positively correlate with ORMDL3 (orosomucoid-like 3) expression. The locus influences disease severity and the frequency of human rhinovirus (HRV)-initiated exacerbations. ORMDL3 is known to regulate sphingolipid synthesis by binding serine palmitoyltransferase, but its role in...
