Co-applicants:
Prof Hans Bisgaard (Copenhagen Studies on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC) , UK), Prof John Henderson (University of Bristol, UK)
Title of project:
Genetic overlap between autoimmune diseases and allergic sensitization
Proposal summary:
This project will require no further data form ALSPAC. Data were provided as summary statistics for a meta-GWAS of allergic sensitization (Bonnelykke et al. Nat Gen 2013; 45(8):902-6) based on ALSPAC skin prick tests. The current proposal is to look up reported genes for other immune diseases in the meta-GWAS results, not limited to genome-wide significant loci, to study to which extent these are also associated with allergic sensitization
