    ABSTRACT: We examined common variation in asthma risk by conducting a meta-analysis of worldwide asthma genome-wide association studies (23,948 cases, 118,538 controls) from ethnically-diverse populations. We identified five new asthma loci, uncovered two additional novel associations at two known asthma loci, established asthma associations at two loci implicated previously in comorbidity of asthma plus hay fever, and confirmed nine known loci. Investigation of pleiotropy showed large overlaps in genetic variants with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Enrichment of asthma risk loci in enhancer marks, especially in immune cells, suggests a major role of these loci in the regulation of immune-related mechanisms.

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Genetic asthma risk with healthcare provider Moderate

    rs10141207 risk allele increases asthma susceptibility; appropriate for preventive planning

    Discuss with provider; consider preventive strategies and monitoring schedule

Lifestyle

  • Known asthma triggers and environmental irritants Moderate

    Increased genetic susceptibility to asthma makes trigger avoidance more important

    Minimize exposure to allergens, air pollution, secondhand smoke, and respiratory irritants

Screening

  • Asthma screening and periodic monitoring Moderate

    Genetic variant associated with 1.24-fold increased asthma risk in large GWAS cohort

    Baseline spirometry and symptom assessment with healthcare provider
