Association of ANRIL Gene Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms With Allergic Rhinitis in Kurdish Population From Kermanshah, Iran.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common inflammatory disorder of the upper airway caused by aberrant immune responses to allergens in genetically predisposed individuals. Recently, the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) has been identified as a novel genetic factor associated with increased AR risk.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the potential correlation of gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with AR risk in the Kurdish population of Kermanshah, Iran.
