The EVE Asthma Genetics Consortium: Building Upon GWAS

The EVE Asthma Genetics Consortium comprises U.S. investigators who have conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma; the main objective is to combine results of individual studies to increase the overall power to identify loci for asthma and asthma-associated traits. The consortium includes investigators at 9 U.S. institutions with GWAS results for >10,000 individuals representing European American, African American, African Caribbean, U.S. Hispanic, and Mexican populations and includes the following studies: The Study of Asthma Phenotypes and Pharmacogenomic Interactions by Race-Ethnicity (SAPPHIRE) The Genetic Research on Asthma in the African Diaspora (GRAAD) Study. The Genetics of Asthma in Latino Americans (GALA 1) Study. The Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) The Childhood Asthma Research and Education (CARE) Network. The Children''s Health Study (CHS) Mexico City Childhood Asthma Study (MCCAS) The Chicago Asthma Genetics... (for more see dbGaP study page.)
