Acknowledgments
We acknowledge the participants recruited in the SLSJ asthma cohort for their valuable participation in this study. We also thank Dominique Fournier, scientific language expert, for the revision of this manuscript (http://www.serviceslinguistiquesdf.com/home). Anne-Marie Boucher-Lafleur, Andréanne Morin and Jolyane Meloche were supported by a Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) Master, Doctoral or Postdoctoral training award, respectively.

2022, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :To pinpoint the most likely candidate genes at the identified loci, we used a unique resource: eosinophil data from 139 individuals in the SLSJ cohort. This allowed us to measure gene expression and search for cis-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) within at most 1 Mb of each investigated SNP in these associated loci.28 We also searched for cis-eQTLs by interrogating eQTL studies in the blood (peripheral blood, lymphoblastoid cell lines, monocytes) and the GTEx database, which we examined for relevant tissues in asthma (eg, blood, lung, spleen, and thymus).29,30
