Table 2.
The Association of Asthma with UGRP1 Variant and IgE Level[Note]
| Variable | OR (95% CI)a |
| G/A or A/A genotype | 4.11 (1.51–11.17) |
| IgE | 1.90 (1.41–2.58) |
Note.— Logistic-regression models include both variables shown and are adjusted for age, sex, and smoking status. Age and IgE level were continuous variables. Smoking status was either current or ex-/nonsmoker. The reference group for the UGRP1 genotype is the wild type (G/G).
a
The OR for the G/A or A/A genotype indicates that persons who have either of these genotypes are four times more likely to have asthma; the OR for IgE indicates that every increase of 100 IU/ml in IgE level elevates the risk of asthma 1.9-fold.
