ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the genetic faction influence on asthmatic patients in Chongqing, China. Methods Case-control study was employed for genetic epidemiological survey. Results The heritability of asthma in Chongqing was (80.56?5.68)% in first-degree relatives of asthma probands. The segregation ratio was 0.18. The relative risk of first-degree relatives and siblings of asthma probands were 7.38 and 4.47, respectively. Conclusion The inheritance pattern of asthma in Chongqing coincided with polygenic inheritance pattern. Genetic factor is a major risk factor of asthma. The relative risk in siblings is high. We can localize the susceptible gene of asthma with positional cloning.
