Hi-C data in hematopoietic cells showed that two proxies of rs2589561 (r2 > 0.9) are located in a region that interacts with the GATA3 promoter in CD4+ T cells [103], suggesting that rs2589561 could function as a distal regulator of GATA3 in this asthma relevant cell type. This evidence concerns the gene GATA3 and asthma.
