In plasma, we observed that an increase of one standard deviation in IL1R1[1.30 (95% CI 1.20–1.42)], IL7R[1.07 (95% CI 1.04–1.11)], ECM1[1.03 (95% CI 1.02–1.05)], and CD200R1[1.18 (95% CI 1.09–1.27)] were associated with an increased risk of asthma, while an increase in ADAM19 [0.87 (95% CI 0.82–0.92)] was found to be protective. This evidence concerns the gene ADAM19 and asthma.
