The genetic polymorphism of the LTC4S promoter gene transcription which upregulates the biosynthesis of Cys-LTs partially explains this syndrome. [60] This single polymorphism at nucleotide –444C of the LTC4S promoter gene is a marker of the severe glucocorticoid-dependent phenotype of aspirin-induced asthma. [61]
