The aim of this study was to determine whether the ADAM33 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 33) T1 (rs2280091), T2 (rs2280090), and ST+7 (rs574174) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to asthma.

Significant associations with asthma were found for the SNPs T1 (Met764Thr), T2 (Pro774Ser), S2 and V-3 (with the lowest P-value for T1, P = 0.0015; OR 0.63).
Association intensity of the polymorphisms with the disease risk was assessed by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).The frequency of rs678881 GA genotype was obviously higher in cases than in controls (P = .03) and the carriage of this genotype conferred higher risk of asthma among children than GG genotype (OR = 2.03, 95%CI = 1.05-3.91).
<i>ADAM33</i> gene polymorphisms at positions T+1 (rs2280091), T1 (rs3918396), S1 (rs2280089), and F+1 (rs511898) were examined in 150 patients with asthma and 149 age- and sex-matched healthy controls with a PCR-RFLP method.
Positive associations were also found between the polymorphisms rs2280090, rs2787094, rs44707 and rs528557</span> and childhood asthma in some genetic models.
In this study, we evaluated the associations between the V4 (rs2787094 G>C) polymorphism in a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 33 (ADAM33) gene and asthma risk.
The replication of the negative association of the CG/GG-genotype of rs528557 ADAM33 with childhood asthma in an independent birth cohort study confirms that a compromised ADAM33 gene may be implicated in the progression of wheeze into childhood asthma.
As rs44707 and rs2787094 are associated with asthma</span> and a distinctive palm pattern, the data suggest that ADAM33 polymorphisms are correlated with asthma and may be the underlying genetic basis of the association between asthma and palm dermatoglyphic patterns.

Based on the results, five SNPs, rs44707 (codominant model, P=0.031; log‑additive model, P=0.0084), rs2787094 (overdominant model, P=0.049), rs678881 (codominant model, P=0.028; overdominant model, P=0.0083), rs677044 (codominant model, P=0.013; log‑additive model, P=0.0033) and rs512625 (dominant model, P=0.033), were associated with asthma in this population.
Differences in allele frequencies at the SNPs rs528557/S2, rs598418 and rs44707/ST+4 in asthmatics were statistically significant compared to controls.
Strong LD was found among rs678881, rs2280089 and rs2853209, and haplotype GGT was distinctly associated with the risk of asthma in children (OR = 0.28, 95%CI = 0.13-0.57).ADAM33 rs678881 polymorphism is significantly correlated with increased susceptibility to asthma in Chinese Han children.
