Identification of STOML2 as a putative novel asthma risk gene associated with IL6R

Abstract

Background: Functional variants in the interleukin-6 receptor gene (IL6R) are associated with asthma risk. We hypothesized that genes co-expressed with IL6R might also be regulated by genetic polymorphisms that are associated with asthma risk. The aim of this study was to identify such genes.
