Hakon Hakonarson and colleagues identify variants near TSLP at 5q22 associated with pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis. They further show that TSLP is overexpressed in esophageal biopsies of cases compared to controls and that the risk variants are associated with elevated TSLP expression.
Michael Cho and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, identifying a susceptibility locus at chromosome 4q22.1 in FAM13A.
Nilesh Samani and colleagues report a genome-wide association study that identifies variants near the TERC locus associated to variance in mean telomere length.
