The innovation relates to medicine especially for<br />

pediatry. The study results demonstrate that GMDR<br />

interaction model may work as a phenotype predictor<br />

based on the genetic information to improve the clinical<br />

diagnosis.<br />

Asthma is a multifactorial disease caused by<br />

numerous genetic and environmental factors, and their<br />

interactions. The generalized multifactor dimensionality<br />

reduction method (GMDR software, version Beta 0.9)<br />

pr<strong>op</strong>oses a combinatorial approach for genetic data<br />

analysis that unifies biological, statistical and<br />

evolutionary theories. A number of polymorphisms in<br />

nine asthma candidate genes (GSTТ1, GSTM1, GSTP1,<br />

NAT2, IL-4, IL-4Rα, TNFα, NOS1 and CC16) were<br />

evaluated and the combination of genes that increases<br />

3.6 folds the risk of childhood asthma devel<strong>op</strong>ment<br />
