Association of childhood asthma with Gasdermin B (GSDMB) and Oromucoid-like 3 (ORMDL3) genes.

Objective: Genome-length association studies have shown that Gasdermin B (GSDMB) and Orosomucoid-like 3 (ORMDL3) genes located on the long arm of chromosome 17 are associated with asthma. In this study, it was aimed to determine the possible relationship between asthma control test (ACT), exercise provocation test (ECT), and fractional nitric oxide (FENO) levels and GSDMB and ORMDL3 gene expressions.

Methods: 59 asthmatic and 38 non-asthmatic children were included in the study.

The relationship between serum vitamin D level and asthma.

Objective: Several studies have established a relationship between low serum vitamin D levels and the onset of asthma in childhood. In this study, we aim to assess the relationship between vitamin D and asthma.

Methods: This study included 29 mild and 30 moderate persistent asthma and 38 healthy control group.
