Integration of functional genomics and statistical fine-mapping systematically characterizes adult-onset and childhood-onset asthma genetic associations

Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci underlying adult-onset asthma (AOA) and childhood-onset asthma (COA). However, the causal variants, regulatory elements, and effector genes at these loci are largely unknown. Methods We performed heritability...
