We also identified two genome-wide significant associations: rs13408661 near IL1RL1/IL18R1 (P(Stage1+Stage2) = 1.1x10(-9)), which is correlated with a variant recently shown to be associated with asthma (rs3771180), and rs9268516 in the HLA region (P(Stage1+Stage2) = 1.1x10(-8)), which appears to be independent of previously reported associations in this locus.

However, a variant in IL1RL1 that is in low linkage disequilibrium with that reported previously was associated with asthma risk after accounting for all variants tested (rs10197862, gene wide P = 0.01).

Finally, we determined the association of IL1RL1-a levels with asthma and its clinical characteristics (n=1101).<i>IL1RL1</i> asthma-risk SNPs strongly associated with <i>IL1RL1</i> methylation (rs1420101; p=3.7×10<sup>-16</sup>) and serum IL1RL1-a levels (p=2.8×10<sup>-56</sup>).
