Background

Little is known about the genetic determinants of severe asthma exacerbations.

Objectives

We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with asthma hospitalizations.

Methods

We conducted a genome-wide association study of asthma hospitalizations in 34,167 white British adults with asthma, 1,658 of whom had at least 1 asthma-related hospitalization. This analysis was conducted by using logistic regression under an additive genetic model with adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, and the first 5 principal components derived from genotypic data. We then analyzed data from 2 cohorts of Latino children and adolescents for replication and conducted quantitative trait locus and functional annotation analyses.

Results

At the chromosome 6p21.3 locus, the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs56151658 (8 kb from the promoter of HLA-DQB1) was most significantly associated with asthma hospitalizations (for test allele A, odds ratio = 1.36 [95% CI = 1.22-1.52]; P = 3.11 × 10-8); 21 additional SNPs in this locus were associated with asthma hospitalizations at a P value less than 1 × 10-6. In the replication cohorts, multiple SNPs in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs56151658 were associated with severe asthma exacerbations at a P value of .01 or less in the same direction of association as in the discovery cohort. Three HLA genes (HLA-DQA2, HLA-DRB6, and HLA-DOB) were also shown to mediate the estimated effects of the SNPs associated with asthma hospitalizations through effects on gene expression in lung tissue.

Conclusions

We identified strong candidate genes for asthma hospitalizations in adults in the region for class II HLA genes through genomic, quantitative trait locus, and summary data-based mendelian randomization analyses."xsd:string
