<b>Methods:</b> We analyzed four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): two in <i>GLCCI1</i> (rs37972 and rs37973), and two in <i>STIP1</i> (rs2236647 and rs2236648), which are genes associated with susceptibility to asthma and response to ICS in a Tunisian cohort.
The rs2236647 SNP could act as a reliable tool to identify individuals at risk of developing asthma and provision of early intervention in population of Arab descent.
