    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between interleukin (IL)-33 gene polymorphisms rs928413 and rs7044343 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Chinese Han population. METHOD: We assessed IL-33 rs928413 and rs7044343 polymorphisms by Sanger sequencing of PCR products amplified from the genomic DNA of 160 COPD patients and 123 healthy controls. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the distribution of rs928413 AA, AG, or AA genotypes or rs7044343 CC, CT, or TT genotypes between the two groups. However, COPD patients had a significantly higher frequency of the rs928413 G allele G (14.1% vs 7.3%, respectively). This allele was significantly associated with susceptibility to COPD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-3.57). The rs928413 dominant inheritance model was associated with COPD susceptibility (OR: 2.08, 95%CI: 1.09-4.04). CONCLUSION: The G allele of rs928413 and the rs928413 dominant inheritance model were associated with susceptibility to COPD in the Chinese Han population.
