Epistatic interaction between genetic variants from PNMT (rs876493) and ADRB2 (rs11168070) is associated with serum epinephrine level and the susceptibility of asthma. Our findings improved the current understanding of the genetic basis of this disease, while genotypic states of these SNPs may serve as potential biomarkers to predict susceptibility to the disease.
