The objective of study was to investigate the association between the Gln27Glu polymorphism in the β2-АR gene and body mass index in patients with bronchial asthma with regard to the age of onset. Study included 553 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) and 95 apparently healthy individuals with no individual and family history of asthma symptoms. All of them had previously signed an informed consent form for study participation.

Objective: Aim: The objective of the study was to evaluate the frequency of the ER22/23EK and Tth111I polymorphic variants in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene in patients with BA and to assess the risk of BA development with regard to these polymorphisms.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We examined 553 BA patients and 95 apparently healthy individuals. BA was diagnosed according to the 2016 GINA recommendations and its later versions.
The majority of the world population carry the gastric pathogen . Fortunately, most individuals experience only low-grade or no symptoms, but in many cases the chronic inflammatory infection develops into severe gastric disease, including duodenal ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Here we report on a protective mechanism where attachment and accompanying chronic mucosal inflammation can be reduced by antibodies that are present in a vast majority of carriers.

We examined 553 BA patients and 95 apparently healthy individuals. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the age of BA onset: Group I included 282 patients with late-onset asthma, and group II included 271 patients with early-onset asthma.
