Correlation of vitamin D receptor with bronchial asthma in children.

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to investigate the correlation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism with bronchial asthma in children. Seventy patients admitted to Daqing Longnan Hospital and diagnosed as bronchial asthma for the first time from April 2015 to May 2017 were selected as observation group. Patients received routine treatment and intervention. Seventy healthy subjects admitted to hospital during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Vitamin D gene polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay; the levels of total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the two groups were determined by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; lung function levels in patients were measured using PowerCube (Germany) pulmonary function i
