The ORMDL3 Asthma Gene Regulates ICAM1 and has Multiple Effects on Cellular Inflammation.

CONCLUSIONS: The results show ORMDL3 has pleiotropic effects during cellular inflammation, consistent with its substantial genetic influence on childhood asthma. Actions on ICAM1 provide a mechanism for the locus to confer susceptibility to HRV-induced asthma. PMID: 30339462 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
