Using the largest sample sizes reported so far for the identification of genetic determinants of circulating IgE levels, we investigated associations between total serum IgE (log-transformed) and single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8 genes that are candidate susceptibility loci for IgE levels/atopic illness (IL13, IL4, IL4RA, FCER1B, IL12B, TBET) and/or type 1 diabetes (CTLA4, PTPN22, IL2RA).
