Abstract

Background Asthma is a heterogeneous disease in which age of onset plays an important role. Objective We sought to identify the genetic variants associated with time to asthma onset (TAO). Methods We conducted a large-scale meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies of TAO (total of 5462 asthmatic patients with a broad range of age of asthma onset and 8424 control subjects of European ancestry) performed by using survival analysis techniques. Results We detected 5 regions associated with TAO at the genome-wide significant level (P
