Moderate-to-severe asthma in individuals of European ancestry: a genome-wide association study

Abstract excerpt

Background Few genetic studies that focus on moderate-to-severe asthma exist. We aimed to identity novel genetic variants associated with moderate-to-severe asthma, see whether previously identified genetic variants for all types of asthma contribute to moderate-to-severe asthma, and provide novel mechanistic insights using expression analyses in patients with asthma. Methods In this genome-wide association...
