The Study of the Influence of < em > IL5RA < /em > Variants on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This study aimed to evaluate the role of IL5RA genetic variation in the risk of COPD. In this study, 498 patients with COPD and 498 normal controls were recruited. Subsequently, five SNPs (rs3804795, rs2290610, rs13097407, rs334782, and rs3856850) in the IL5RA gene were genotyped. Logistic analysis examined the association of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL5RA with the risk of COPD under various genetic models. Furthermore, the association between IL5RA and susceptibility to COPD was comprehensively analyzed with stratification based on age, sex, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Our study showed that IL5RA rs13097407 reduced susceptibility to COPD (OR = 0.43, p < 0.001, p (FDR)< 0.001). On the other hand, rs3856850 was associated with an increased risk of COPD (OR = 1.71, p = 0.002, p (FDR) = 0.002). Interestingly, the effect of IL5RA SNPs on susceptibility to COPD was found to be influenced by factors such as sex and smoking. IL5RA gene variants were significantly associated with susceptibility to COPD.PMID:37905709 | DOI:10.1080/15412555.2023.2270729
