Is iL-10 gene polymorphism associated with preschool atopy and early-life recurrent wheezing after bronchiolitis in infancy? Context: Variations in the genes that regulate innate immunity responses may be associated with susceptibility to asthma or atopy after early-life bronchiolitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between four different polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene at rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800890, and rs1800896, either alone or in combination, and post-bronchiolitis asthma or allergies at 5-7 years of age. Data on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of IL-10 rs1800896 (-1082G/A), rs1800871 (-819C/T), rs1800872 (-592C/A), and IL-10 rs1800890 (-3575T/A) were available for 135 children. Polymorphisms and their associations with asthma and allergies were studied in 135 preschool-aged children who had been hospitalized for bronchiolitis at age 0-6 months. Their parents were interviewed to record the children's history with asthma and allergies from infancy to the present. At 6.4 years (mean), asthma was present in 17 children (12.6%), while recurrent wheezing during the first 7 years of life was present in 39 (28.9%) children. Fifty-three (39.3%) study participants had current atopy (atopic eczema or allergic rhinitis). Eight (72%) of 11 children with the IL-10 rs1800896, IL-10 rs1800871, and IL-10 rs1800872 combination AA + CT + CA had current atopy (P = 0.02 vs. 38% in other genotype combinations). Twenty-three (56%) children with the IL-10 rs1800871C/T or IL-10 rs1800872C/A genotype had present atopy versus 34 (38%) with other IL-10 genotypes (P = 0.03). Between 2 years and 3 years of age, 27% of ATA haplotype carriers had asthma versus 13.7% of other haplotype carriers (P = 0.02).

IL-10 polymorphisms at rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800890, and rs1800896 seem to be associated with elevated allergies and/or recurrent wheezing risk in later childhood, after early-life bronchiolitis. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2016; 9999:XX-XX. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Final Decision: yes
