Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci underlying adult-onset asthma (AOA) and childhood-onset asthma (COA). However, the causal variants, regulatory elements, and effector genes at these loci are largely unknown. METHODS: We performed heritability enrichment analysis to determine relevant cell types for AOA and COA, respectively. Next, we fine-mapped putative causal...
