Our data extend the findings of Szczepankiewicz et al., who observed an association between asthma and MAP3K1 gene polymorphisms rs702689 and rs889312, and suggested that genetic variants of the MAP3K1 gene involved in regulating neurogenic inflammation may contribute to asthma possibly via enhanced NGF expression and the activation of the MAPK signalling pathway [47]. The gene discussed is MAP3K1; the disease is asthma.
