Abstract
This study represents the first report to identify PLAUR as a potential asthma susceptibility gene and determine PLAUR regions underlying this association, including a role in influencing plasma PLAUR levels. Finally, the association of PLAUR with lung function decline supports a role for PLAUR in airway remodeling in asthma.
