Epithelial genes have previously been associated with asthma, but only explain a small fraction of heritability. In part, this may be due to epistasis that is often not considered. To determine independent and epistatic associations between FLG, SPINK5 and TSLP gene variants and childhood asthma. Using a candidate gene approach, we genotyped 29 variants in FLG, SPINK5 and TSLP in asthmatic, allergic, and non-allergic-non-asthmatic white and black children participating in the well-phenotyped Greater Cincinnati Pediatric Clinic Repository (GCPCR). Associations with asthma were also assessed in six replication populations. We observed independent associations of variants in SPINK5 (p=0.003) and TSLP (p=0.006) with childhood asthma; a SPINK5 SNP was replicated. In subjects with one or more SPINK5 risk alleles, the absence of the TSLP protective minor alleles was associated with a significant increase in asthma (67% vs. 53%, p=0.0017). In contrast, the presence or absence of TSLP minor alleles did not affect asthma risk in subjects without the SPINK5 risk alleles. The SPINK5 and TSLP epistasis was replicated in a black population (p=0.036) that did not display independent association with variants in these genes. Our results support epistasis between SPINK5 and TSLP which contributes to childhood asthma. These findings emphasize the importance of utilizing biology to inform analyses to identify genetic susceptibility to complex diseases. The results from our study have clinical relevance and support that the therapeutic effects of anti-TSLP therapy in asthmatics may be dependent on SPINK5 genotype.
