The GINA 2020 guidelines suggest that asthma affects approximately 300 million persons worldwide. Even if there is a specific drug treatment for each stage of disease (From mild to severe) in some patients it is not efficacy and it culd be reated to the gender difference Polymorphisms seems to be involved in asthma (allergic or not) even if no data have been published concerning the role of gender in this clinical manifestation. The aim of this study is to assess whether genetic variations involved in the genes encoding the two key leukotriene enzymes, ALOX5 and LTC4S, and CysLTR1 are implicated in the sex difference of allergic asthma in a well-characterized patient cohort.

The role of polymorphisms in susceptibility to allergic asthma has been partially investigated but no study has analysed gender subgroups separately, neglecting a their potential predictive role in symptomatological and functional variations in the allergic asthma in both sexes. The aim of this study is to assess whether genetic variations involved in the genes encoding the two key leukotriene enzymes, ALOX5 and LTC4S, and CysLTR1 are implicated in the sex difference of allergic asthma in a well-characterized patient cohort.

We will perform an observational study in patients with asthma enrolled fro general practitioners and specialist in respiratory disease. After the recruitment a sample of blood and oral mucosa will be taken to evaluate the expression of SNPs and of inflammatory status
