The IL17RA gene variations that were studied showed no association with susceptibility to severe bronchiolitis in infancy, nor with post-bronchiolitis asthma or lung function at school age. Future studies should evaluate other IL17RA polymorphisms and include more cases, and especially cases with homozygous variations.
