A Neanderthal Origin of Genetic Variants Associated with Asthma

2023-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> While genome-wide association studies have implicated a number asthma-associated genes, whether the disease-linked variants originate from ancient genomes has not been explored. Here we show that of the 51 asthma-associated loci that we surveyed, 39 carry variants that were derived in the Neanderthal lineage. The shared sequences suggest that some asthma variants may have originated from the Nean...
