“…We and others have previously compiled the genes that have been demonstrated to be associated with RSV and asthma. Among these are polymorphisms in a number of immune response genes, suggesting immune perturbations common to both diseases : CX3CR1, TLR-4, SP-A, SP-D, IL-10, CCR5, TLR-10, IL-4, IL-13, IL-10, IL-8, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor, TLR-4, MS4A2, VDR, IL-4Ra, RANTES, TGF-b1, and ADAM33 (14,15). In addition, a recent clinical multicenter cohort study found that human IL1RL1 gene variants and nasopharyngeal IL1RL1-a levels were associated with severe RSV bronchiolitis.…”
