Genome-wide association study of asthma in individuals of African ancestry reveals novel asthma susceptibility loci

2017-03-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Asthma is a complex disease with striking disparities across racial and ethnic groups, which may be partly attributable to genetic factors. One of the main goals of the Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas (CAAPA) is to discover genes conferring risk to asthma in populations of African descent. <h4>METHODS</h4> We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of ast...
