Asthma is the most common chronic disorder in childhood, and asthma exacerbation is an important cause of childhood morbidity and hospitalization. In the present study, the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ADAM33 gene and asthma in Indian children has been examined using a case-control study. Five SNPs of the ADAM33 gene, F+1(rs511898) G/A, S2 (rs528557) G/C, ST+4 (rs44707) A/C, ST+5 (rs597980) C/T and V4 (rs2787094) C/G, were analyzed in 211 asthma cases and 137 controls aged 1-15 years using the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Data were statistically analyzed using the x(2)-test and logistic regression model. Haplotype estimation and linkage disequilibrium were conducted using the expectation-maximization algorithm. The genotypes and allele frequencies of SNPs S2 and ST+5 of the ADAM33 gene were significantly associated with asthma risk (P=0.020-
