ABSTRACT: Background
Asthma is a common chronic lung disease in children. We aimed to determine the associations between stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) and glucocorticoid-induced transcript 1 (GLCCI1) polymorphisms and susceptibility of childhood asthma and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) response in children.Methods
A total of 263 Chinese Han asthmatic children were recruited from the Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. Pulmonary function tests were performed before the treatment and 3 months after the treatment. One hundred fifty non-asthmatic children were recruited. Each participant's DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood and Method of MassARRAY was used to genotype the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).Results
STIP1 rs2236647 wild-type homozygote (CC) was associated with increased asthma risk of children (OR = 1.858, 95% CI:1.205-2.864), but not associated with the ICS response. GLCCI1 rs37969, rs37972 and rs37973 polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of childhood asthma. However, rs37969 mutant genotypes (TT/GT) were significantly associated with less improvement in PD20 (p = 0.028). We also found significant associations between rs37969, rs37972 and rs37973 mutant genotypes and less improvement in maximal midexpiratory flow (MMEF) after ICS treatment for 3 months (p = 0.036, p = 0.010 and p = 0.003, respectively).Conclusions
STIP1 rs2236647 was associated with asthma risk of children and GLCCI1 rs37969 mutant genotypes were associated with less improvement in airway hyper-responsiveness. GLCCI1 rs37969, rs37972 and rs37973 polymorphisms might be associated with pulmonary function in childhood asthma patients after ICS treatment.
