A recent case-control study has also suggested that SNPs from the ADAM33 (V4 [rs2787094], T1[rs2280091], S2[rs528557]) and AQP5 genes (rs3736309) were specific markers for asthma and COPD, respectively, that may be used to predict individual predisposition [54]. The gene discussed is ADAM33; the disease is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
