Abstract
The 17q12-21 locus has a strong genetic association with allergic asthma but not with AR. The polymorphic effect of this locus is attributed to the linkage set tagged by rs8076131, which affects the expression of ORMDL3, protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B (PPP1R1B), zona pellucida binding protein 2 (ZPBP2), and gasdermin B (GSDMB) and is correlated with high IgE levels and eosinophil counts in subjects bearing the risk genotype.
