PRKRA and asthma: Five of 189 CNVs were associated with asthma in stage 2, including a deletion overlapping the HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genes, a duplication of CHROMR/PRKRA, deletions within MUC22 and TAP2, and a duplication in FBRSL1. The HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, MUC22 and TAP2 genes all reside within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region on chromosome 6.
