Background and Objective: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease caused by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that genetic variation plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of asthma. The objective is to systematically review the existing literature on the association between gene polymorphisms and asthma to better understand the relationship between genetic factors and the occurrence and development of asthma. Methods: We used keywords ???asthma??? and ???gene polymorphism??? with their combinations to search for relevant literature published from 2000 to 2021 in the PubMed database and the foreign medical literature retrieval service (FMRS). All articles included in the review are English. Then, we summarized the information pertaining to the genetic factors related to asthma susceptibility. Key Content and Findings: This study summarized the information on 10 gene variants related to the risk of asthma published over the past 20 years, which will assist in further understanding the role of genetic variants in the risk of asthma. Conclusion: Dozens of candidate genes have been identified that were associated with asthma risk. Asthmatics existed specific gene variation performed different response to therapy. Personalized therapy based on genotypic profiling would be an important direction in the future. However, it remains a great challenge for us to explore the relationship between gene polymorphisms and pathophysiological mechanism of asthma.
