BACKGROUND: Chronic urticaria/angioedema is a common phenotype in patients with aspirin sensitivity; however, its genetic mechanism is not understood. Transforming growth factor (TGF)beta1 is a key regulatory cytokine involved in allergic inflammation.
OBJECTIVE: We examined the association of a TGFbeta1 genetic polymorphism with aspirin-intolerant chronic urticaria (AICU) and aspirin-tolerant chronic urticaria (ATCU) in a Korean population.
METHODS: A promoter polymorphism in the TGFbeta1 gene, TGFbeta1 -509C>T, was analysed in 112 AICU patients, 153 ATCU patients and 457 normal controls (NC), and the frequency was compared among the groups. Serum TGFbeta1 levels were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS: The minor allele frequency of the -509C>T polymorphism was significantly higher in patients with AICU compared with the other two groups (P < 0.02 for AICU vs. NC; P < 0.05 for AICU vs. ATCU). Among the AICU patients, those with the T allele tended to have lower serum TGFbeta1 levels.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the -509C>T polymorphism in the TGFbeta1 promoter may contribute to the development of the AICU phenotype.
