Obesity effect on asthma development includes the following mechanisms: impact on respiratory function, inflammation and common genetic factors. The aim of our research was to study the association between BMI and Gln27Glu polymorphism in the ADRB2 gene in BA patients. Patients with bronchial asthma were divided into 3 groups depending on their BMI: Group I – 110 patients with normal body mass; group II – 26 overweight patients, group III – 59 obese patients. Gln27Glu polymorphism in the ADRB2 gene was detected using polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS–21 program. P-value <0.05 was considered significant. Obtained results showed that obesity occurred more often in Glu27Glu genotype carriers, while normal body mass was more characteristic of Gln27Gln genotype carriers (р = 0.001). Distribution of BMI with regard to Gln27Glu polymorphism in the ADRB2 gene in BA patients did not depend on gender (р=0.1). Thus, BA patients with Glu27Glu genotype of the ADRB2 gene had obesity significantly more often. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
