ORMDL3 - guilt by association?
Clin. Exp. Allergy 38, 1579-1581 (2008)
A recent British-German study described ORMDL3 as a new asthma gene. Although the association with chromosome 17q 12 marker is plausible from earlier linkage data, it is far from being clear which gene caused the association signal, as it is derived from a large linkage disequilibrium (LD) block. Not only Aiolos and GSDML but also distant genes that are regulated by this site may be relevant. There may be even unidentified RNA transcripts requiring a much more detailed genetic and functional analysis before finding ORMDL3 guilty by association.
