The role of single nucleotide polymorphism rs17587319 (C/G) of ATG5 in asthma has not been studied so far. The study aimed to analyze this polymorphism and its association with asthma susceptibility.
Objective: Genetic background and environmental stimuli play an important role in asthma, which is an individual's hyper-responsiveness to these stimuli leading to airway inflammation. Autophagy Related Gene 5 (ATG5) plays a critical role in the autophagy pathway and has been shown to be involved in asthma. The genetic polymorphisms in the ATG5 have been reported to predispose individuals to asthma. The role of single nucleotide polymorphism rs17587319 (C/G) of ATG5 in asthma has not been studied so far.Materials and methods: In this study, we in silico analysed rs17587319 (C/G) using web-based tools Human Splice Finder (HSF) and RegulomeDB and further a case-control study was conducted that included 187 blood samples (94 asthmatic and 93 healthy controls).Results: In silico analysis suggested alteration of splicing signals by this intronic variant. The samples were genotyped by applying the PCR-RFLP method. The MAF obtained was 0.022 and 0.043 in healthy controls and asthmatic individuals, respectively. The statistical analysis revealed no association (allelic model, OR = 2.02, 95%CI = 0.59-6.83, p = 0.25; co-dominant model, OR = 2.06, 95%CI = 0.6-7.12, p = 0.24) of rs17587319 (C/G) with the susceptibility to asthma in the north Indian population.Conclusions: In conclusion, rs17587319 (C/G) of ATG5 does not predispose individuals to asthma in our part of the world. Further studies are needed including more number of samples to ascertain the role of this polymorphism in asthma.
