Association of ADAM33 gene polymorphisms with keloid scars in a northeastern Chinese population.

OBJECTIVE To study the association between ADAM33 and keloid scars in the northeastern Chinese population. METHODS A total of 283 keloid scar patients and a control group of 290 healthy volunteers were recruited for this study. Six polymorphic loci (V4, T+1, T2, T1, S2 and Q-1 ) of ADAM33 were selected for genotyping. Genotypes were determined by using the polymerase chain reaction-restrictio...

Association of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 33 (ADAM33) gene polymorphisms with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Chinese population: a meta-analysis.

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between polymorphisms of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 33 (ADAM33) gene and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk; however, the results remain conflicting. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ADAM33S2 and -T1 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to COPD risk in the Chinese population. Publications address...

ADAM33 gene polymorphisms in Southwestern Iranian patients with asthma

Objective(s): Asthma, the most frequent chronic respiratory disease, results from a complex interaction between multiple genes and environmental factors. To date, more than 100 candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with asthma. One of the discovered genes related to asthma is ADAM33. However, the relationship between ADAM33 gene polymorph...
