Abstract

Background To date, no genome-wide association study (GWAS) has considered the combined phenotype of asthma with hay fever. Previous analyses of family data from the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study provide evidence that this phenotype has a stronger genetic cause than asthma without hay fever.Objective We sought to perform a GWAS of asthma with hay fever to identify variants associated with having both diseases.Methods We performed a meta-analysis of GWASs comparing persons with both physician-diagnosed asthma and hay fever (n = 6,685) with persons with neither disease (n = 14,091).Results At genome-wide significance, we identified 11 independent variants associated with the risk of having asthma with hay fever, including 2 associations reaching this level of significance with allergic disease for the first time: ZBTB10 (rs7009110; odds ratio [OR], 1.14; P = 4 × 10(-9)) and CLEC16A (rs62026376; OR, 1.17; P = 1 × 10(-8)). The rs62026376:C allele associated with increased asthma with hay fever risk has been found to be associated also with decreased expression of the nearby DEXI gene in monocytes. The 11 variants were associated with the risk of asthma and hay fever separately, but the estimated associations with the individual phenotypes were weaker than with the combined asthma with hay fever phenotype. A variant near LRRC32 was a stronger risk factor for hay fever than for asthma, whereas the reverse was observed for variants in/near GSDMA and TSLP. Single nucleotide polymorphisms with suggestive evidence for association with asthma with hay fever risk included rs41295115 near IL2RA (OR, 1.28; P = 5 × 10(-7)) and rs76043829 in TNS1 (OR, 1.23; P = 2 × 10(-6)).Conclusion By focusing on the combined phenotype of asthma with hay fever, variants associated with the risk of allergic disease can be identified with greater efficiency.

  • SNPs in different TLRs have been associated with allergic rhinitis in both genome-wide association studies (TLR1, TLR6, TLR10) and candidate gene studies (TLR8).

    “SNPs in different TLRs have been associated with AR in both GWASs (TLR1, TLR6, TLR10)486,487 and candidate gene studies (TLR8), as discussed in the next paragraph.494”

    From International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (2018) · cites this paper as [486]

    The Results section reports a genome-wide significant SNP at TLR1 for asthma with hay fever, and the background discussion reports a TLR1 association with hay fever. Our copy does not report associations for TLR6 or TLR10, so it supports only part of the GWAS claim attributed to this paper. The separate TLR8 candidate-gene claim is cited to reference 494, not this source. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • SNPs in LRRC32 have been strongly associated with allergic rhinitis in three genome-wide association studies and with asthma, eczema, and other allergy-related comorbidities.

    “SNPs in leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 32 (LRRC32) have been strongly associated with AR in 3 of the GWASs,486-488 and with asthma,487,489 eczema,488,490 and other allergy-related comorbidities.486,489,491”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
