We aimed to study whether forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) polymorphisms contribute to allergic rhinitis (AR) in a Central-European population, the Hungarians, similarly as it was found in Han Chinese. A case-control study was performed and the genotype distribution of the rs3761548 FOXP3 polymorphism was analyzed separately in females and in males. The results demonstrated that females homozygous for the rare FOXP3 rs3761548 allele (A/A) are protected against AR; otherwise, females who are either wild types (C/C) or heterozygote carriers (C/A) of the rare allele are more susceptible to AR (OR [95%Cl] = 2.089 [1,095; 3.988]). We were able to confirm the findings of Zhang et al. in a geographically and ethnically distinct population, the Hungarians, and revealed that the rs3761548 SNP is a marker of a haplotype in these two populations, but not in Sub-Saharan Africans, suggesting that this haplotype was fixed after early modern humans left Africa.
