TL;DR: The results suggest that some asthma susceptibility loci are robust to differences in ancestry when sufficiently large samples sizes are investigated, and that ancestry-specific associations also contribute to the complex genetic architecture of asthma.

TL;DR: A genome-wide search in 140 families with ≥2 asthmatic sibs, from three racial groups and report evidence for linkage to six novel regions, including 5p15 (P= 0.0008) and 17p11.1–q11.2 (/> = 0.0015) in African Americans and 11p15 and 19q13 (P =0.0013) in Caucasians and Hispanics.

TL;DR: A deeply sequenced dataset of 910 individuals, all of African descent, is used to construct a set of DNA sequences that is present in these individuals but missing from the reference human genome, demonstrating that the African pan-genome contains ~10% more DNA than the current human reference genome.
