We observed that 9 asthma SNPs were associated with eosinophil counts and atopy (located in or near LRRC32, D2HGDH, GLB1, IL2RA, ETS1, RORA, IL4R, GATA3 genes) and five SNPs with eosinophil counts and airway obstruction (located in or near NDFIP1, BACH2, GSDMB, ZNF652, ADAMTS4 genes). The gene discussed is GATA3; the disease is Airway obstruction.
