Abstract:
The interleukin 13 (IL-13) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are frequently linked to increased vulnerability to allergic asthma. Forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) is an important molecule in the formation of regulatory T cells (Treg). The genetic variants that alter FOXP3 function may have a role in the development of asthma and other allergic disorders. We aimed to determine the association of IL-13 rs20541, FOXP3 rs3761548 genes SNPs and serum levels of IL-13 with allergic asthma patients. In this case–control study, 41 Egyptian patients with allergic asthma were included. Age and gender matched. 41 normal volunteers were considered the controls. All subjects were examined for IL-13 rs20541 and FOXP3 rs3761548 SNPs by the polymerase chain reaction /restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. The serum level of IL-13 was assessed by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). AA genotype at IL-13 rs20541 SNP was statistically significantly different between the studied groups (p= 0.042). Also, a statistically significant difference was detected when compared AA genotype to GG genotype as AA genotype was three times at risk for asthma (p1=0.031) (OR=3.95) and A allele increased the risk of asthma by about 3 times (OR=3.2). AA genotype at FOXP3 rs3761548 SNP was statistically significantly different between the studied groups (p=0.013). Also, a statistically significant difference was detected when compared AA genotype to CC genotype as AA genotype was 7 times at risk for asthma (p1=0.003) (OR=7.04) and A allele increased the risk of asthma by about 3 times (p<0.001) (OR=3.07). The serum level of IL-13 was statistically significant different between both groups (p<0.001). We can conclude that IL-13 could be a useful tool for predicting allergic asthma. Patients with AA genotype of IL-13 rs20541 and AA genotype of FOXP3 rs3761548 have a higher risk for developing allergic asthma.
