Rs16947078

A large study of Caucasian children has identified this SNP in the TBX21 gene (and one other, rs11650354) as defining a haplotype associated with increased risk for allergic asthma.

The odds ratio associated with rs16947078(G;G) homozygotes compared to rs16947078(A;A) homozygotes for allergic asthma is reported to be 8.13 (CI: 2.5-26.9). Heterozygotes may be at slightly higher risk.
