An intergenic signal between PHB and ZNF652 (rs2584662) (EAF, 0.42; OR, 0.92; P = 2.21 × 10–8) was previously associated with asthma and reported as a blood eQTL for GNGT2 (implicated in NF-κB activation),29,35 although we did not identify this in our eQTL analysis. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and asthma.
