Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis in multiple populations identifies new loci for peanut allergy and establishes c11orf30/EMSY as a genetic risk factor for food allergy

C11orf30 (EMSY) is a risk locus for food allergy, reaching genome-wide significance in meta-analysis (p=7.50×10-11). Meta-analyses showed five loci suggestive of significance with peanut allergy. These 6 novel loci suggest epigenetic mechanisms.
