Among the differentially co-expressed genes, eight were previously linked to asthma in genome- (MRPL14, ASB3, RHOBTB2) and epigenome-wide (CLC, EPS15, GPI, SSCRB4, STRN4) association studies and five were mentioned in the literature in the context of asthma (SLC19A1, MAEA, CLC, ATP1B1, and RECK). This evidence concerns the gene STRN4 and asthma.
