Technological advances have accelerated discoveries in human genetics, including risk
variant identification, genetic risk prediction, and functional assessment of genetic variation …

Impaired lung function in early life is associated with the subsequent development of chronic
respiratory disease. Most genetic associations with lung function have been identified in …

Background In the USA, genetically admixed populations have the highest asthma
prevalence and severe asthma exacerbations rates. This could be explained not only by …

Despite asthma has a considerable genetic component, an important proportion of genetic
risks remain unknown, especially for non-European populations. Canary Islanders have the …

• Genome-wide association studies of asthma have unraveled a wide catalog of common
variants associated with asthma with small to-moderate effect sizes. Further efforts should be …
