Objective: The development of asthma and its related phenotypes is most likely due to the polymorphism of the so-called modifier genes. The goal of this study was to evaluate the polymorphic locus rs1695 of the gene association with risk factors for developing asthma and its phenotypic manifestations.
Methods: This case-control study involved 164 patients with confirmed asthma diagnosis and 147 age- and sex-matched controls.
