Disclosed are the haplotypes D2S2311, rs3769712 and rs2278206 loci which are genetic variants of human Inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase (INPP4A) gene. The haplotypes are used for detecting and predicting the susceptibility of an individual to asthma. Also disclosed are primers that can be used to amplify parts of the INPP4A gene that comprise the haplotypes.
