Abstract

Objective: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chr11p15.5 region associated with asthma and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs). We sought to identify functional genes for asthma by combining SNPs and mRNA expression in bronchial epithelial cells (BEC) in the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP). Methods: Correlation analyses of mRNA expression of six candidate genes (AP2A2, MUC6, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and TOLLIP) and asthma phenotypes were performed in the longitudinal cohort (n = 156) with RNAseq in BEC, and replicated in the cross-sectional cohort (n = 155). eQTL (n = 114) and genetic association analysis of asthma severity (426 severe vs. 531 non-severe asthma) were performed, and compared with previously published GWASs of IIPs and asthma. Results: Higher expression of AP2A2 and MUC5AC and lower expression of MUC5B in BEC were correlated with asthma, asthma exacerbations, and T2 biomarkers (P < 0.01). SNPs associated with asthma and IIPs in previous GWASs were eQTL SNPs for MUC5AC, MUC5B, or TOLLIP, however, they were not in strong linkage disequilibrium. The risk alleles for asthma or protective alleles for IIPs were associated with higher expression of MUC5AC and lower expression of MUC5B. rs11603634, rs12788104, and rs28415845 associated with moderate-to-severe asthma or adult onset asthma in previous GWASs were not associated with asthma severity (P > 0.8). Conclusions: SNPs associated with asthma in chr11p15.5 region are not associated with asthma severity neither with IIPs. Higher expression of MUC5AC and lower expression of MUC5B are risk for asthma but protective for IIPs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 March 2023.
All research outputs
#15,334,203
of 23,573,233 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Asthma
#1,379
of 2,072 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#102,322
of 203,167 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Asthma
#6
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,573,233 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,072 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 203,167 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
