Association of TRPM3 Polymorphism (rs10780946) and Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD)

Introduction Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) refers to the combination of asthma rhinosinusitis and poliposis; ingestion of aspirin or other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs exacerbate asthma-like symptoms. The pathogenesis of AERD is unknown, and genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease. Our objective is identifying polymorphisms associated with susceptibility in a Mexican mestizo population.
