In conclusion, this meta-analysis indicated the T1-C/T polymorphism in ADAM33 gene, the D/I polymorphism in ACE gene, the -6843G/A polymorphism in FcεRIβ gene, the -1923C/T polymorphism in IL-13 gene, the -2044A/G polymorphism in IL-13 gene, the -28C/G polymorphism in RANTES gene and the -308G/A polymorphism in TNF-α gene are associated with asthma risk in Chinese population. Here, CCL5 is linked to asthma.
