Background: Homozygotes for the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs242941 and rs1876828 of the corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1) gene were previously associated with lower stimulated and basal cortisol levels respectively in asthmatic children on inhaled corticosteroids. Heterozygotes for rs41423247 of the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1) gene were found to have higher basal cortisol levels.Objectives</stro...
