Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified various genes associated with asthma, yet, causal genes or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remain elusive. We sought to dissect functional genes/SNPs for asthma by combining expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and GWASs. METHODS: Cis-eQTL analyses of 34 asthma genes were performed in cells from human bronchial epithelial biopsy...
