A whole genome sequencing study of moderate to severe asthma identifies a lung function locus associated with asthma risk

Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common variant loci associated with asthma susceptibility, but few studies investigate the genetics underlying moderate-to-severe asthma risk. Here, we present a whole-genome sequencing study comparing 3181 moderate-to-severe asthm...
