Objectives: Rhinitis is classified into several types with allergic rhinitis (AR) being the most common. AR is among the inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in which corticosteroids are administered to overcome the decrease in cortisol production. The treatment options available for AR vary with 1 line treatment being intranasal corticosteroids (INCS).

Background: Gasdermin A (GSDMA) and Gasdermin B (GSDMB) have been associated with childhood and to a lesser extent with adult asthma in many populations. In this study, we investigate whether there is an association between GSDMA (rs7212938, T/G) and GSDMB (rs7216389, T/C) at locus 17q21.2 and risk of Allergic Rhinitis among Jordanians.

Aims: In this study, we investigated the association between GSDMA and GSDMB variants and the incidence of adult and childhood asthma among Jordanians.
Methods: Subjects were divided into two groups: adults and children.
Disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) have been associated with childhood and adult asthma in many populations. ADAM33 mutations might predispose to altered lung function in early infancy. In this study, we investigated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ADAM33 and the incidence of adult and childhood asthma among Jordanians.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAllergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is assumed to be due to an interaction between different genetic and/or environmental factors. A disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 33 (ADAM33) has been extensively studied as a susceptibility gene in asthma and has been linked to bronchial hyper-responsiveness. In this study, we investigated the association between ADAM33 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the incidence of allergic rhinitis among the Jordanian population.
