Rationale: Asthma commonly originates in early life in association with impaired lung function, which tracks to adulthood. Objectives: Within the context of a prospective birth cohort study, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) gene and early-life lung function. Methods: Children were genotyped for 17 SNPs in ADAM33. Lung function at age 3 (n = 285) and 5 years (n = 470) was assessed using plethysmographic measurement of specific airway resistance (sRaw). At age 5, we also measured FEV1. SNPs were analyzed individually using logistic regression, followed by linkage disequilibrium mapping to identify the causal locus. Main Results: Carriers of the rare allele of F+1 SNP had reduced lung function at age 3 years (p = 0.003). When the recessive model was considered, four SNPs (F + 1, S1, ST + 5, V4) showed association with sRaw at age 5 years (p < 0.04). Using linkage disequilibrium mapping, we found evidence of a significant causal location between BC + 1 and F1 SNPs, at the S' end of the gene. Four SNPs were associated with lower FEV1 (F + 1, M + 1, T1, and T2; p
