Whole-genome sequencing of individuals from a founder population identifies candidate genes for asthma.

Whole-genome sequencing of individuals from a founder population identifies candidate genes for asthma.

Asthma is a complex genetic disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors. We sought to test classes of genetic variants largely missed by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including copy number variants (CNVs) and low-frequency variants, by performing whole-genome...
