IL-4 plays a pivotal role in the development of allergic inflammation via induction of IgE isotype switching, increase of IgE receptor expression, promoting Th2 cell differentiation, and stimulating several genes involved in atopic disorders.
By genome scanning, evidence of linkage between chromosome Xp22 and asthma and related atopic disorders has previously been obtained.Xp22 harbours the TLR7 and TLR8 genes.

Genetic association studies of the CD14 gene with asthma and atopic disorders have shown positive as well as negative results in different ethnic populations.
Genetic variants of CARD15 that might result in inappropriate immunomodulation are not only associated with autoimmune diseases but also with atopic disorders.
Ichthyosis vulgaris is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene (FLG) and is characterized clinically by xerosis, scaling, keratosis pilaris, palmar and plantar hyperlinearity, and a strong association with atopic disorders.

In our cohort, the proportion of males to females with CHARGE and atopic disorders was 11:4 (P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference between atopic disorders in individuals with CHD7 pathogenic variants and those without CHD7 pathogenic variants (P > 0.05).
In regard to model-dependent lod-score analyses between atopic disorders and FCER1B, two-point analysis gave a lod score of z = 0.78 whereas two-locus analysis using a recessive-dominant mode of inheritance displayed a significant lod score of z = 3.55.
Loss of function FLG alleles were first identified as causative of ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) and were subsequently found to be major predisposing factors for atopic dermatitis (AD) and atopic disorders.
Our findings suggest that inducible NOS can play a role in atopic disorders, and several polymorphisms in its gene may be important for asthma protection or susceptibility.

Polymorphisms in N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), present on chromosome 8p22, are responsible for the N-acetylation variants, which segregate human populations into rapid, intermediate and slow acetylators and influence the susceptibility towards atopic disorders.
The apoptotic cleavage of LEDGF/p75 may contribute to the pathogenesis of atopic disorders by abrogating its pro-survival function and enhancing its immunogenicity.
These results do not confirm previous case-control studies and suggest that IL15 gene variants do not play an important role in the development for asthma or other atopic disorders.
