From the above analyses, 18 genes (BACH2, CD247, HLA-DQA1/A2, IL1RL1, ORMDL3, RORA, STAT6, GNGT2, GSDMB, HLA-DQB1/B2, IL18R1, IRF1, LRRC32, PDCD1, RPS26, SUOX, and TSLP) showed enriched blood/immune expression and/or co-localization of the asthma trait in blood. This evidence concerns the gene PDCD1 and asthma.
