Although ADAM33 was the first gene identified by positional cloning to underlie the risk factor of asthma, attempts to replicate the original results have had inconsistent results. In this report, the authors aim to clarify the role of ADAM33 in asthma by expanding the size of the informative populations and cumulatively analyzing data from relevant published studies. ADAM33 SNPs were genotyped in 60 nuclear families from England recruited from an asthma outpatient clinic, as well as 348 unrelated asthma cases and 262 non-asthmatic controls in an Icelandic population.
