Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognise microbes that contribute to the severity of bronchiolitis and the subsequent risk of asthma. We evaluated whether post-bronchiolitis asthma was associated with polymorphisms in the TLR3 rs3775291, TLR4 rs4986790, TLR7 rs179008, TLR8 rs2407992, TLR9 rs187084, and TLR10 rs4129009 genes. The gene polymorphisms were studied at the age of 6.4 years (mean) in 135 children hospitalised for bronchiolitis in infancy. The outcome measure was current or previous asthma. Current asthma was more common (30%) in children with the variant AG or GG genotype in the TLR10 rs4129009 gene versus those who were homozygous for the major allele A (11%) (p = 0.03). The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) was 4.30 (95%CI 1.30-14.29). Asthma ever was more common (34.6%) in girls with the TLR7 variant AT or TT genotype versus those who were homozygous for the major allele A (12.5%) (p = 0.03). The adjusted OR was 3.93 (95%CI 1.06-14.58). Corresponding associations were not seen in boys. There were no significant associations between TLR3, TLR4, TLR8, or TLR9 polymorphisms and post-bronchiolitis asthma. Polymorphism in the TLR10 gene increases and in the TLR7 gene may increase the risk of asthma in preschool-aged children after infant bronchiolitis.
