Abstract

In order to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms G(+2722)C and 3020insC in CARD15 gene and Asp299Gly in TLR4 gene contribute to atopic bronchial asthma we performed a comparative analysis of alleles and genotypes frequencies of these polymorphisms in Russian patients from Moscow. DNA samples from 283 patients with atopic bronchial asthma and 227 healthy donors were genotyped. There were associations neither of G(+2722)C and 3020insC in CARD15 gene and Asp299Gly in TLR4 gene with asthma nor of markers of CARD15 gene with asthma severity. Haplotype frequency analysis of CARD15 gene polymorphisms did not reveal significant difference between groups. However, a strong association was found between Asp299Gly and asthma severity. Allele Asp of this marker showed association with mild atopic bronchial asthma and allele Gl--with moderate/severe asthma = 0.47, 95% CI [0.24-0.93] i OR = 2.12, 95% CI [1.08-4.18] respectively).
