A recent study identified the ADAM33 gene as a promising candidate contributing to asthma. We have genotyped 6 SNPs used in that study in Puerto Rican and Mexican populations from the Genetics of Asthma in Latino Americans (GALA) study. We chose to study these two populations because in the U.S., Puerto Ricans have the highest asthma prevalence, morbidity and mortality, and Mexicans have the lowest. We used the Transmission Disequilibrium Test (TDT) to analyze associations between the ADAM33 gene variants with asthma, asthma severity, bronchodilator responsiveness and total IgE levels using single SNPs, two to six SNP combinations, and specific haplotypes in 583 trios (asthmatic proband and both biological parents). We also genotyped matched control samples to allow case-control analyses. None of the TDT or case-control results showed significant associations in either of the populations. We found no evidence for association of single SNPs with asthma severity, bronchodilator response, or IgE levels in Mexicans or the combined population. Two SNPs showed a modest association in Puerto Ricans, insignificant when the number of comparisons was taken into account. We conclude that the ADAM33 gene is not an important risk factor for asthma or asthma-associated phenotypes in Mexicans or Puerto Ricans.
Key words: genetics, asthma, Latino populations, ADAM33
