Asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis are common, complex traits that are frequently co-morbid and have strong genetic correlation. However, the extent to which genome-wide genetic correlation between traits reflects shared causal variants or risk genes remains unclear. To address this question, we used functional fine-mapping. We generated genomic annotations from primary cells treated with immunomodulatory stimuli, then used these data to identify likely causal variants mediating ge...
