In addition, asthma was enriched in colocalizations derived from CD4+ T-cells (enrichment = 4.34; p = 5.14E − 19) and CD8+ T-cells (enrichment = 3.10; p = 4.91E − 05) meQTLs, which was also replicated by GenoSkyline-Plus (p = 3.43E − 03 and p = 3.92E − 05, respectively) (Additional file 7: Table S6B). Here, CD4 is linked to asthma.
