The gene encoding the zona pellucida-binding protein 2 (ZPBP2) has been revealed as a common locus of both childhood and adulthood asthma by several studies, supported by the association of several intronic SNPs as well as variants located within the intergenic region of ZPBP2 and GSDMB (43, 44). The gene discussed is ZPBP2; the disease is asthma.
