Asthma is a common complex disease of the airways. Genome-wide association studies
(GWASs) of asthma have identified many risk alleles and loci that have been replicated in …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma have yielded exciting results and
identified novel risk alleles and loci. But, like other common complex diseases, asthma …

The next wave of asthma genetic studies will use full-genome sequencing and overcome
most GWAS-associated problems. It will be the last step of a century-long search for asthma …

Asthma and allergic diseases are complex conditions caused by a combination of genetic
and environmental factors. More than 100 genes have been associated with asthma and …

Asthma is a complex and heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease of the airways.
Alongside environmental factors, asthma susceptibility is strongly influenced by genetics …

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that is caused by the interaction of
genetic susceptibility with environmental influences. Genome-wide association studies …

This review focuses on genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of asthma and allergic
diseases published between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. During this time period …

Asthma is the result of a complex interaction between environmental factors and genetic
variants that confer susceptibility. Studies of the genetics of asthma have previously been …

Twenty‐five genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma were published between
2007 and 2016, the largest with a sample size of 157242 individuals. Across these studies …

Asthma is a complex respiratory disease considered as the most common chronic condition
in children. A large genetic contribution to asthma susceptibility is predicted by the clustering …
