Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between+2964 G/A locus polymorphism of IL-5 gene and the impact of the polymorphism upon plasm IL-5 level.Methods polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR/RFLP)techniquers were used to determine+2964 locus polymorphism in asthma and control group,and plasm IL-5level were determined by ELISA.Results The frequency of allele G,A of+2964 locus had significant difference between two groups(x~2=17.26,P0.05,In each group,the plasm IL-5 level of subjects with G allele was higher than that of subjects without G allele,the plasm IL-5 level of asthma group was higher than that of control group with same genetype.Conclusion The+2964 polymorphism of STAT6 gene may be an important candidate gene for asthma.G allele is associated with asthma and increases the plasm IL-5 level.
