We identified additional genome-wide significant associations between 1q21.3/IL6R (rs4129267) and C-reactive protein/asthma, and nominal associations between 1p13.3/SORT1 (rs602633), 21q22.2/ERG (rs2836411), and 19p13.2/LDLR (rs6511720) and height (Online Tables X, XI, and XII), a potential risk factor for AAA.38 Here, IL6R is linked to asthma.
