ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
High total serum IgE level is one of the characteristics seen in allergic rhinitis. IL-13 provides impetus to immunoglobulin class switching to IgE. The IL-13 promoter single nucleotide polymorphism has been shown to be associated with allergic diseases and abnormal IL-13 production. We tested whether a polymorphism in the coding region of IL-13 gene is associated with allergic rhinitis, blood eosinophil counts and total serum IgE levels in Korean. SUBJECTS ANDMETHOD:
Blood samples for genetic analysis were obtained from 307 individuals with allergic rhinitis and from 268 healthy subjects without atopic diseases. Polymerase chain reaction-based assay for IL-13 exon 4 G2044A was used for genotyping. Serum total IgE levels were determined by using the immunoassay. Eosinophil values were determined by eosinophil numbers per total cell numbers per microl.RESULTS:
There were no differences in the frequencies of the genotypes of IL-13 in the controls and patients (p>0.05). The frequencies of the IL-13 exon 4 2044A allele were statistically different between controls and patients (p0.05).CONCLUSION:
Our result suggests that the IL-13 exon 4 G2044A polymorphism might give susceptibility to the development of allergic rhinitis in Koreans.
