  • Genetic Architectures of Childhood- and Adult-Onset Asthma Are Partly Distinct. - American journal of human genetics (2020) · Ferreira MAR, Mathur R, Vonk JM, Szwajda A, Brumpton B, Granell R, Brew BK, Ullemar V, Lu Y, Jiang Y, Magnusson PKE, Karlsson R, Hinds DA, Paternoster L, Koppelman GH, Almqvist C · PubMed 30929738

    The extent to which genetic risk factors are shared between childhood-onset (COA) and adult-onset (AOA) asthma has not been estimated. On the basis of data from the UK Biobank study (n = 447,628), we found that the variance in disease liability explained by common variants is higher for COA (onset at ages between 0 and 19 years; h = 25.6%) than for AOA (onset at ages between 20 and 60 years; h = 10.6%). The genetic correlation (r ) between COA and AOA was 0.67. Variation in age of onset among COA-affected individuals had a low heritability (h = 5%), which we confirmed in independent studies and also among AOA-affected individuals. To identify subtype-specific genetic associations, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the UK Biobank for COA (13,962 affected individuals) a

  • Shared genetic origin of asthma, hay fever and eczema elucidates allergic disease biology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29083406

    ABSTRACT: Asthma, hay fever (or allergic rhinitis) and eczema (or atopic dermatitis) often coexist in the same individuals, partly because of a shared genetic origin. To identify shared risk variants, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS, n=360,838) of a broad allergic disease phenotype that considers the presence of any one of these three diseases. We identified 136 independent risk variants (P<3x10-8), including 73 not previously reported, which implicate 132 nearby genes in allergic disease pathophysiology. Disease-specific effects were detected for only six variants, confirming that most represent shared risk factors. Tissue-specific heritability and biological process enrichment analyses suggest that shared risk variants influence lymphocyte-mediated immunity. Six target

Discuss with your doctor

  • Genetic risk for allergic disease and asthma High

    Genetic variant associated with increased allergic disease susceptibility warrants discussion of prevention strategies

    Review family history, assess current symptoms, discuss proactive allergy management

Screening

  • Allergic disease and asthma screening High

    G allele carriers show 5-6% increased risk of allergic disease and asthma in large population studies

    Baseline allergy testing if symptomatic; periodic monitoring for new symptoms
