Article Abstract
Introduction: Recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) indicated that rs7216389 polymorphism on chromosome 17q21 was associated with paediatric asthma risk. However, the results remained controversial. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed.
Evidence Acquisition: A comprehensive literature retrieve was performed on PubMed, Embase and Science Direct databases up to Feb 20, 2016. The strength of association between 17q21 locus rs7216389 polymorphism and pediatric asthma risk was assessed by computing odds ratio (OR) with its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).
Evidence Synthesis: A total of 10 studies with 7797 cases and 38757 controls were included. A statistically significant association of rs7216389 polymorphism and pediatric asthma risk was found (OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.34-1.49, P<0.00001). Furthermore, both Caucasians (OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.33-1.49, P<0.00001) and Asians (OR=1.43, 95%CI=1.25-1.63, P<0.00001) with rs7216389 polymorphism showed significant association, respectively. A significantly increased susceptibility was identified in atopic asthma (OR=1.45, 95%CI=1.22-1.72, P<0.00001). In the stratification analysis by study design, both case-control studies (OR=1.40, 95%CI=1.33-1.48, P<0.00001) and cohort studies (OR=2.05, 95%CI=1.32-3.17, P=0.001) showed significant association, respectively.
Conclusions: In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that 17q21 locus rs7216389 polymorphism was significantly associated with paediatric asthma risk.

Objective: To examine the association between GSDMB polymorphisms and haplotypes with asthma susceptibility in the Zhuang Nationality population of Guangxi, China.
Methods: This study included 178 asthmatic subjects and 109 healthy individuals from the Zhuang population in Guangxi, China. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) targeted GSDMB SNPs rs2952156, rs806737, rs8069176, rs11078927, and rs7216389, followed by high-throughput sequencing and analysis of genotype and allele frequencies.
Genetic and Pathological Insights into the rs7216389 Polymorphism in Gasdermin B and Its Association with Childhood Asthma.

This review provides an overview of genetic and pathological mechanisms associated with childhood asthma, focusing on the Gasdermin B (GSDMB) gene variant rs7216389. Accordingly, asthma is outlined as the most common chronic disease in children, with increased incidence in the worldwide community, critically important complications, and mortality related to severe manifestations, primarily exacerbations. The review provides a clinical definition of asthma exacerbation, briefly goes into the cost aspects, and explains the features of pediatric asthma compared to adult-onset asthma.

Objective This study examines the association between the gasdermin B (GSDMB) gene variant rs7216389 and childhood asthma, with a focus on gender-based differences, environmental factors, and lung function measurements in affected children. It highlights the growing prevalence of childhood asthma, its unique features compared to adult-onset asthma, and the substantial healthcare burden it imposes, especially during exacerbations. Methods A case-control study was conducted over 18 months at CMH Lahore, UHS, and Children's Hospital, including 200 participants (100 asthmatics, 100 controls) aged three to 18.

Background: Polymorphisms in susceptibility genes are a major risk factor for the development of asthma. Understanding these genetic variants helps elucidate asthma's pathogenesis, predict its onset, expedite antiasthma medication development, and achieve precise targeted individualized treatment. This study developed a test kit based on susceptibility genes for predicting asthma in Chinese children.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes on chromosome 17q12-q21 are associated with childhood-onset asthma and rhinovirus-induced wheeze. There are few mechanistic data linking chromosome 17q12-q21 to wheezing illness.
Objective: We investigated whether 17q12-q21 risk alleles were associated with impaired interferon responses to rhinovirus.
