CD40 plays a substantial role in inflammation and has been linked to pathogenic processes of chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aim: The study was to investigate the association of CD40 gene (-1C/T) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the susceptibility to asthma and COPD in the Egyptian population, and its functional effect on the expression of CD40. Methods: We analyzed -1C/T SNP of the CD40 gene in 40 patients with COPD, 50 patients with asthma, and 60 normal subjects using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). CD40 expression was measured using flow cytometry. Immunoglobulin E was also determined in asthmatics.
