We conducted an association study by genotyping four SNPs (rs2244012 and rs6871536 in RAD50 as well as rs1295686 and rs1800925 in IL13) in 652 asthmatic children and age-matched 752 healthy controls from Northeastern Han Chinese to evaluate the asthma susceptibility with each individual SNP using SNaPshot genotyping method.
We show that IL13 rs20541 and rs1800925 are each significantly associated with self-reported asthma and allergy, and that this association is not confounded by any of the known developmental and environmental risk factors for asthma and atopy, including in particular place of birth.
