Objective  To investigate the association between polymorphism of S2 locus allele in ADAM33 gene and bronchial asthma in Xinjiang Uygur population.
Methods  PCR-RFLP was used to determine polymorphismof S2 locus allele in ADAM33 gene in 131 Uygur patients with bronchial asthma ( asthma group) and 90 Uygur healthy individuals ( control group) .
Results  The comparison of three genotypes and allele frequency of the S2 in the ADAM33 gene had statistical significance in the asthma group and the control group ( X2 =6. 065, P  lt;0. 05;X2=5. 255, P  lt;0. 025) . The G allele of S2 site increased the risk of asthma( OR =1. 616, P  lt;0. 05) . The CG genotype also increased the risk of asthma ( OR= 1. 351,P  lt;0. 05) . The FEV1% pred and FVC% pred had significant difference between three genotypes of the S2 site in the ADAM33 gene in the asthma group ( F = 6. 248, P  lt; 0. 01; F = 7. 067, P  lt; 0. 01) .
Conclusion  The polymorphism of the S2 site in the ADAM33 gene has significant correlation with asthma in Xinjiang Uygur population, and can increase risk of asthma in the Uygur population.
