Several SNPs implicated in the first asthma GWAS by Moffatt et al. in the ORMDL3 region [5] were associated with childhood asthma in our GWAS [including rs9303277 (p = 0.036), rs11557467 (p = 0.014), rs8067378 (p = 0.020), rs2290400 (p = 0.037), and rs7216389 (p = 0.042)] but were not ranked among our top 5,000 SNPs. This evidence concerns the gene ORMDL3 and childhood onset asthma.
