17q21 asthma-risk variants switch CTCF binding and regulate IL-2 production by T cells

Variations in the 17q21 locus are linked to asthma susceptibility and other autoimmune diseases. Here, the authors perform cell type-specific functional genomic analyses of asthma-risk SNPs, and show a genotype specific mechanism of differential gene regulation relevant to immune function.
