RATIONALE: genetic factors. One of the main goals of the Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas (CAAPA) is to discover genes conferring risk to asthma in populations of African descent. We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of asthma association across CAAPA studies (using a total of 4,827 cases and METHODS: 5,397 controls), genotyped on the African Diaspora Power Chip (ADPC), and imputed using the whole genome sequence reference panel from CAAPA itself.
