Abstract
Rapid development in sequencing technology enabled us study a near complete catalogue of variants in human genome. We performed whole-exome sequencing to identify functional variants responsible for severe asthma in Korean population. We identified 10 variants of 6 candidate asthma genes (P< p>lt 10-5 comprising GPR88,AGTRAP,GTP2IRD1,KANK1,DNHD1, and DCUN1D2. Our study provides possible new therapeutic targets for asthma.
