چکیده

In Russian population of Siberia asthma is usually concomitant with high sensitization to indoor allergens (cat, dog and house dust mites), overproduction of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and airway hyperreactivity. Definition of genes that predispose to development of various sub-components of the asthma phenotype is important for understanding of etiology of this disease. To map genes predisposing to asthma, we tested 21 microsatellite markers from candidate chromosomal regions in 136 Russian nuclear families with asthma from Siberia. We performed non-parametric analysis for linkage with asthma, total IgE, specific IgE to cat, dog, and dust mites, and spirometric indices (FEV1 (%) - percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1s, FVC (%) - percentage of predicted forced vital capacity, and FEV1/FVC (%) - Tiffenau index). The most significant linkage was to the candidate region on chromosome 12. Locus controlling cat-specific IgE, which is the most abundant in asthma patients from Siberian population, mapped within the interval between 136 and 140 cM on chromosome 12q24.3, with the suggestive linkage at the marker D12S1611 (LOD=2.23, P=0.0007). Total IgE was also linked to this region (D12S1611 - LOD=1.12, P=0.012). FEV1 (%) exceeded LOD>1 threshold for significance with the same locus 12q24.3, but with the peak at a more proximal region at 111.87 cM (D12S338 - LOD=1.21, P=0.009). Some evidence of linkage (LOD>1.0) was also detected for asthma at 6p21.31 (D6S291) and total IgE at 13q14.2 (D13S165). These data indicate that the locus 12q24.3 is the most promising candidate for identification of asthma genes in Russian population of Siberia.

Evaluation of the sensitization of asthmatic patients to A.alternata, P.citrinum and A.fumigatus by IgE-immunoblotting

Background: There is evidence to demonstrate an association between fungal sensitization and asthma. Several studies have shown that saprophytic fungi such as Alternaria, Penicillium and Aspergillus species are the most prevalent fungal allergens worldwide. The main purpose of this study was to compare Alternaria alternata, Penicillium ci...

Childhood asthma and indoor allergen exposure and sensitization in Buffalo, New York.

This nested case-control study examined the association between prevalent asthma and indoor allergen sensitization and/or exposure among children (aged 5-17 years) in Buffalo, New York. The study included a self-administered questionnaire, clinical interviews, skin allergen sensitivity tests and home dust sampling for house dust mites, cat, dog, cockroach and mouse allergens.

Allergen exposure in infancy and the development of sensitization, wheeze, and asthma at 4 years.

BACKGROUND The relationship between mite and pet allergen exposure in infancy and the subsequent development of sensitization and asthma is complex. OBJECTIVE We prospectively investigated the effect of allergen exposure at 3 months of age on the development of sensitization, wheeze, and physician-diagnosed asthma in the first 4 years of life in a birth cohort of children with and without an ...

Accuracy of serum-specific IgE test with microfluidic array enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosing inhalant allergen sensitization in asthma and/or rhinitis allergy patients in Jakarta, Indonesia

Background Asthma and allergic rhinitis are a global health burden. Inhalant allergens worsen the symptoms and clinical manifestations of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Skin prick test is the gold standard for diagnosing allergen sensitization but is associated with some limitations. In contrast, in vitro serum-specific immunoglobulin E (SSIgE) test is convenient and is not associated with an an...

High prevalence of sensitization to cat allergen among Japanese children with asthma, living without cats.

BACKGROUND Cat allergy is common among children with asthma. Many cat-allergic patients in Japan and elsewhere do not keep cats, but nonetheless become sensitized through environmental exposure to cat allergen. OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of cat allergy and cat-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody responses in young Japanese patients with asthma in relatio...
