Identification Of An Asthma Susceptibility Gene On Human Chromosome 5q33

A previous genome-wide screen for mite-sensitive atopic dermatitis asthma in Japanese families indicated linkage to chromosome 5q33. To identify underlying susceptibility genes, targeted mutational screening and association analyses were performed in this study. Twenty-six genes in a 9.4 Mb region of chromosome 5q were screened. On the basis of finding associations with SNPs in the cytoplasmic fragile X mental retardation protein-interacting protein 2 gene (CYFIP2), additional polymorphisms in this gene were analysed, CYFIP2 tissue expression was examined, and electromobility shift assays were performed to determine the functional significance of CYFIP2 variants.

What is Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis (Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis) ?

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (synonym: hypersensitivity pneumonitis) describes an interstitial and bronchioloalveolar disease of the lungs caused by an immune mediated hypersensitivity response. It is associated with repeated exposure to a variety of inhaled organic dusts and reactive chemicals (allergy chemical), but only a proportion of exposed subjects become affected. Notable examples are farmers’ lung (due to actinomycetes contaminating farm produce) and bird fanciers’ lung (due to secreted avian antigens). The disease has considerable potential as a model of allergic lung disease, since the populations at risk can often be identified precisely, the relevant antigens can be purified, and the clinical and immunologic consequences of antigen exposure can be examined.
