Diisocyanates, reactive chemicals used to produce polyurethane products, are the most common causes of occupational asthma. The aim of this study is to identify susceptibility gene variants that could contribute to the pathogenesis of diisocyanate asthma (DA) using a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) approach. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was performed in 74 diisocyanate-exposed workers with DA and 824 healthy controls using Omni-2.5 and Omni-5 SNP microarrays. We identified 11 SNPs that exceeded genome-wide significance; the strongest association was for the rs12913832 SNP located on chromosome 15, which has been mapped to the HERC2 gene (p = 6.94 × 10(-14)). Strong associations were also found for SNPs near the ODZ3 and CDH17 genes on chromosomes 4 and

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Lifestyle
-
occupational exposure to diisocyanates Moderate
GWAS association indicates 3.5-fold increased asthma risk when exposed to diisocyanates in carriers of this variant
Seek alternative employment or minimize exposure if working with diisocyanates; consider occupational assessment
Screening
-
respiratory symptoms if exposed to diisocyanates Moderate
Genetic predisposition increases asthma risk; early detection improves management outcomes
Annual respiratory assessment and spirometry if occupationally exposed to diisocyanates
