Resumo
Introdução: A asma é uma doença complexa, resultante da interação entre fatores genéticos e ambientais. A expressão aumentada de genes relacionados à inflamação define as alterações celulares e estruturais do aparelho respiratório, enquanto o meio ambiente modula os diferentes fenótipos asmáticos. Os produtos dessas células envolvidos na inflamação incluem citocinas, como a interleucina13 (IL-13), que está relacionada com a síntese direta de IgE, imunoglobulina essencial na patogênese da asma. Há divergências entre a prevalência da asma e o grupo étnico estudado, desta forma, o uso de Marcadores Informativos de Ancestralidade (AIM – Ancestry Informative Markers) possibilita a caracterização da ancestralidade genômica de diferentes populações. Objetivos: Verificar a associação entre polimorfismos do gene IL-13R com a ancestralidade genômica e a asma em uma população no sul da Bahia. Métodos: Foram genotipadas 320 amostras, sendo 114 casos, e 206 controles, utilizando o método de PCR e PCR/RFLP em sete AIMs (Sb19.3, APO, AT3, RB2300, LPL, CKMM e PV92) que apresentam elevado diferencial de frequência alélica entre africanos, ameríndios e europeu, e um polimorfismo no receptor de IL-13 (IL-13RA1). Resultados: Os resultados desse estudo mostraram que a maior contribuição foi ameríndia, tanto para os casos (37,42%), como para os controles (50,52%), demonstrando que há diferenças nas contribuições étnicas das amostras da região estudada. O polimorfismo no receptor de IL-13 (IL13RA1) apresentou associação significativa com rinite e história familiar. Conclusões: A heterogeneidade da composição étnica das amostras pode ter influenciado na não associação das duas variáveis: níveis de IgE sérico e histórico familiar, e a presença do polimorfismo no receptor da IL-13RA1, e aponta a necessidade de realização do controle genômico.

Abstract
Introduction: Asthma is a complex disease resulting from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Increased expression of inflammatory genes defines cellular and structural changes in the respiratory tract, while the environment modulates the different asthmatic phenotypes. Cell products involved in inflammation include cytokines, such as interleukin-13 (IL-13), which is related to the direct synthesis of IgE, an immunoglobulin that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma. Because there is divergence of asthma prevalence between different ethnic groups, the use of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) allows for the characterization of genomic ancestry in different populations. Objectives: To examine the association of IL-13R gene polymorphisms with genomic ancestry and asthma in a population from the south of Bahia. Methods: A total of 320 samples, 114 cases and 206 controls, were genotyped using PCR and PCR/RFLP methods for 7 AIMs (Sb19.3, APO, AT3, RB2300, LPL, CKMM, and PV92) that showed a high allele frequency differential between Africans, Amerindians, and Europeans and 1 polymorphism in the IL-13 receptor (IL-13RA1). Results: Amerindian ancestry provided the greatest contribution in both cases (37.42%) and controls (50.52%), indicating that there are differences in the ethnic contribution of the samples from the study region. The IL-13 receptor (IL-13RA1) polymorphism was significantly associated with rhinitis and family history. Conclusions: Heterogeneity in the ethnic composition of the samples may have influenced the non-association of serum IgE levels and family history with the presence of IL-13RA1 receptor polymorphism, and the results point to the need for genomic control.
