ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms in TNF and one in LTA in Mexican patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and the correlation of those single nucleotide polymorphisms with serum levels of TNF-α. PATIENTS &METHODS:
Case-control study including 133 patients with AERD, 135 patients with asthma (aspirin-tolerant asthmatics) and 182 healthy subjects.RESULTS:
GA genotype of rs1800629 in TNF was found to be associated with the risk of developing AERD (p < 0.05; odds ratio = 2.36) and by dominant model (p < 0.05; odds ratio = 2.51). Furthermore, there was a difference in the serum levels between the aspirin-tolerant asthmatics group and the other groups (p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
The GA genotype of rs1800629 is associated with genetic susceptibility to AERD, but it does not correlate to protein serum levels.Palavras-chave
