TL;DR: A genome-wide association scan for sequence variants affecting eosinophil counts in blood of 9,392 Icelanders found that a nonsynonymous SNP at 12q24, in SH2B3, associated significantly with myocardial infarction in six different populations.

TL;DR: The contribution of rs7216389-T to the development of asthma is unlikely to operate only through an impact on the expression of ORMDL3 or GSDMB genes, as other sequence variants showing a weaker association with asthma compared with that of rs 7216389 were more strongly associated with the expression with both genes.
