Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of asthma in ethnically diverse North American populations

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.

Genetic ancestry influences asthma susceptibility and lung function among Latinos

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that Native American ancestry was associated with lower odds of asthma (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.66-0.78, P ǫ= 8.0 × 10 −15 ), while African ancestry was significantly associated with higher odds of having asthma.
