    Allergic rhinitis is associated with elevated serum IgE levels. IgE response is mediated by the highaffinity IgE receptor (FcΔRI), which is polymorphic. Studies analyzing the association between allergic rhinitis and FcΔRI variants have been conducted with controversial results. The objective of this study is to analyze, in 1,041 individuals, the putative clinical association of allergic rhinitis with common polymorphisms in FcΔRI subunits genes. These SNPs included FECR1A rs2494262, rs2427837 and rs2251746; FECR1B rs1441586, rs569108 and rs512555; FCER1G rs11587213, rs2070901 and rs11421. Statistically significant differences were observed for the FCER1B rs569108 and rs512555 polymorphisms frequencies when comparing patients with allergic rhinitis without asthma and controls. The OR (95% CI) value for the 237Gly allele (rs569108) is equal to 0.26 (0.08–0.86, P = 0.017) and for the G allele (rs512555) it is equal to 0.27 (0.08–0.88, P = 0.020). These two SNPs are linked (D’ = 1.0, LOD = 56.05). Also observed was a statistically significant trend towards lower IgE values among allergic rhinitis patients with variant alleles for both SNPs. In conclusion, in patients with allergic rhinitis without asthma, the FCER1B rs569108 and rs512555 polymorphisms are associated with increased risk of developing allergic rhinitis and with lower IgE levels.Trabajo financiado por: Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

    Varios informes sugirieren que una funciĂłn hemo oxigenasa 1 y 2 de los genes HMOX HMOX1 y 2 modifican el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP). Porque el temblor esencial (ET) y PD comparten fenotipo y, probablemente, unos factores etiolĂłgicos semejantes, analizamos si tales genes estĂĄn relacionados con el riesgo de desarrollar ET. Se analizĂł la distribuciĂłn de las frecuencias genotĂ­picas y alĂ©licas de los HMOX1 rs2071746, HMOX1 rs2071747, HMOX2 rs2270363 y rs1051308 HMOX2 polimorfismos de nucleĂłtido Ășnico, asĂ­ como la presencia de variaciones de nĂșmero de copias de estos genes en 202 sujetos con ET familiar y 747 controles sanos. Las frecuencias alĂ©licas de rs2071746T y R1051308G ET fueron significativamente menores en los pacientes que en los controles. Ninguno de los polimorfismos estudiados influyeron en el comienzo de la enfermedad. El presente estudio sugiere una dĂ©bil asociaciĂłn entre HMOX1 rs2071746 y rs1051308 HMOX2 polimorfismo y el riesgo de desarrollar ET en la poblaciĂłn española.Several reports suggested a role of heme oxygenase genes 1 and 2 (HMOX1 and HMOX2) in modifying the risk to develop Parkinson disease (PD). Because essential tremor (ET) and PD share phenotypical and, probably, etiologic factors of the similarities, we analyzed whether such genes are related with the risk to develop ET. We analyzed the distribution of allelic and genotype frequencies of the HMOX1 rs2071746, HMOX1 rs2071747, HMOX2 rs2270363, and HMOX2 rs1051308 single nucleotide polymorphisms, as well as the presence of copy number variations of these genes in 202 subjects with familial ET and 747 healthy controls. Allelic frequencies of rs2071746T and rs1051308G were significantly lower in ET patients than in controls. None of the studied polymorphisms influenced the disease onset. The present study suggests a weak association between HMOX1 rs2071746 and HMOX2 rs1051308 polymorphisms and the risk to develop ET in the Spanish population.T‱ Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Fondo de InvestigaciĂłn Sanitaria: Ayudas PI12/00241, PI12/00324 y RETICS RD12/0013/0002 ‱ Junta de Extremadura: Ayuda GR10068 ‱ Ministerio de Ciencia e InnovaciĂłn: Ayudas SAF2006-10126 (2006–2009) y SAF2010-22329-C02-01 (2011–2013) ‱ Parcialmente financiado Fondos FEDER – Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo RegionalpeerReviewe
