A link between PHF11 and allergic disease was shown in earlier genetic linkage and association studies [4–6], with alternate alleles of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the 3’ non-translated exon of PHF11 associated with a change in the expression of this gene in Th1 cells [1] through differential binding of the transcription factor Oct-1 [7]. Here, PHF11 is linked to allergic disease.
