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 />
