Some of the SNPs are in or close to the genes PGAP3 and STARD3 on chromosome 17, and interestingly, rs2941504 has been reported in a recent independent study (Anantharaman et al., 2011) to be associated with asthma, although it does not meet the criteria for inclusion in the GWAS catalog. The gene discussed is STARD3; the disease is asthma.
