Asthma, diminished response to antileukotriene treatment in, included

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because multiple loci and candidate genes have been implicated in the causation of asthma and asthma-related traits (ASRT). See, e.g., ASRT1 (607277), associated with a mutation in the PTGDR gene (604687) on chromosome 14q24; ASRT2 (608584), associated with mutation in the GPRA gene (608595) on 7p15-p14; ASRT3 (609958), which has been mapped to chromosome 2p; ASRT4 (610906), which has been mapped to chromosome 1p31; and ASRT5 (611064), associated with variation in the IRAK3 gene (604459) on 12q14.3. ASRT6 (611403) is associated with markers on chromosome 17q21 and transcript levels of ORMDL3 (610075). ASRT7 (611960) is associated with polymorphism in the CHI3L1 gene (601525) on chromosome 1q32.1, and ASRT8 (613207) has been mapped to chromosome 9q33. Polymorphisms in the HNMT gene (605238) and the ADRB2 gene (109690) have also been associated with susceptibility to asthma. Balaci et al. (2007) stated that in the previous decade several loci and more than 100 genes had been found to be associated with asthma in at least 1 population.

DESCRIPTION

Bronchial asthma is the most common chronic disease affecting children and young adults. It is a complex genetic disorder with a heterogeneous phenotype, largely attributed to the interactions among many genes and between these genes and the environment. Asthma-related traits include clinical symptoms of asthma, such as coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea; bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) as assessed by methacholine challenge test; serum IgE levels; atopy; and atopic dermatitis (Laitinen et al., 2001; Illig and Wjst, 2002; Pillai et al., 2006). See 147050 for information on the asthma-associated phenotype atopy.

CLINICAL FEATURES

A critical phenotypic characteristic of human asthma and an important feature of animal models of asthma is airway hyperresponsiveness (Hirshman et al., 1984; Levitt and Mitzner, 1988; Levitt and Mitzner, 1989).

INHERITANCE

Longo et al. (1987) postulated that asthma can be inherited as a mendelian dominant disorder (with incomplete penetrance); Townley et al. (1986) supported polygenic inheritance. Longo et al. (1987) found that among the healthy parents of asthmatic children, tests of airway responsiveness to carbachol showed a bimodal distribution of responsiveness; in 85% of couples who had an asthmatic child, one or both parents had normal airway responsiveness consistent with an autosomal dominant trait. Townley et al. (1986) demonstrated a unimodal distribution of airway responsiveness in normal subjects from nonasthmatic and nonallergic families and confirmed a bimodal distribution of bronchial reactivity to methacholine (MCh) in families with and without asthma. - Association with BMI In a study of 1,001 monozygotic and 383 dizygotic same-sex twin pairs, Hallstrand et al. (2005) analyzed self-reports of a physician diagnosis of asthma and BMI (see 606641) calculated using self-reported height and weight, and found a strong association between asthma and BMI (p less than 0.001). Substantial heritability was detected for asthma (53%) and obesity (77%), indicating additive genetic influences on each disorder. The best-fitting model of shared components of variance indicated that 8% of the genetic component of obesity is shared with asthma.

PATHOGENESIS

Xiang et al. (2007) reported that an excitatory rather than inhibitory GABAergic system exists in airway epithelial cells. Both GABA ... More on the omim web site
