Moreover, CDHR3 is highly expressed in differentiated ciliated epithelial cells, and cells that are homozygous for the asthma risk variant rs6967330 have 10-fold higher expression levels of the transcription factor FoxJ1, a master regulator of ciliogenesis, which in turn accelerates the development of functional cilia [41,45]. This evidence concerns the gene CDHR3 and asthma.
