Comparison of SNP between Korean and UK asthmatics
Figure 3 shows the Forest plot for 24 SNPs that were significant in GWASs of UK asthmatics using UK Biobank data6. When the same SNP was not available for comparison in our data, the highest correlated SNP was used. In the case of significant SNPs in our data, an asterisk was placed on the right side of the error bar. Of the 24 SNPs, 8 SNPs were significant, and 6 of them, which were interleukin-1 receptor-like 1(IL1RL1), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), C5orf56, GATA3, MUC5AC, and CLEC16A, had the same odds ratio direction compared with significant SNPs in UK Biobank data. HLA-DQA1 and C11orf30 showed an opposite odds ratio direction.
