Among these variants, seven SNPs (rs1371687, rs7615856, rs828621, rs828618, rs828616, rs1062196, and rs8833) and one haplotype (DCBLD2-ht1) show associations with susceptibility to AERD.
On account of its association with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), the human discoidin, CUB and LCCL domain containing 2 (DCBLD2) is hypothesized to be a candidate gene for the development of nasal polyps in asthma patients.
