  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>A previous genome-wide linkage scan of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in the French Epidemiological study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma (EGEA) families, performed in the presence of a gene×early-life environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure interaction, showed the strongest interaction in the 17p11 region where linkage was detected only among unexposed siblings. Our goal was to conduct fine-scale mapping of 17p11 to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) interacting with ETS that influence BHR.</jats:p><jats:p>Analyses were performed in 388 French EGEA asthmatic families, using a two-step strategy: 1) selection of SNPs displaying family-based association test (FBAT) association signals (p≤0.01) with BHR in unexposed siblings, and 2) a FBAT homogeneity test between exposed and unexposed siblings plus a robust log-linear interaction test.</jats:p><jats:p>A single SNP reached the threshold (p≤3×10<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>) for significant interaction with ETS using both interaction tests, after accounting for multiple testing. Results were replicated in 253 French-Canadian families, but not in 341 UK families, probably due in part to differences in phenotypic features between datasets.</jats:p><jats:p>The SNP showing significant interaction with ETS belongs to <jats:italic>DNAH9</jats:italic> (dynein, axonemal, heavy chain 9), a promising candidate gene involved in respiratory cilia mobility and associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia, a disease associated with abnormalities of pulmonary function.</jats:p>
