HCG11 and asthma: After adjusting for the same confounders (except that maternal asthma was replaced with maternal rhinitis) as those for childhood asthma, PPG-associated CpG cg15790214, located in the body of gene HCG11, was shown to be associated with increased odds of allergic rhinitis (OR = 4.16, 95% CI 1.41–12.27, p = 0.0099).
