In the asthma population, 14 SNPs showed nominal association with eosinophil counts, with 10 SNPs overlapping with the general population (rs449454 [NDFIP1], rs1342326 [IL33], rs3771180 [IL1RL1], rs7130588 [LRRC32], rs56375023 [SMAD3], rs13412757 [LINC00299], rs479844 [ETS1], rs3024655 [IL4R], rs16903574 [FAM105A], rs11088309 [RUNX1]) and 4 SNPs were associated in the asthma population only (rs4233366 [ADAMTS4], rs11742240 [IL7R], rs1684466 [NRROS], rs2766667 [ZNF217]). Here, OTULINL is linked to asthma.
