Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play a key role in determining the widely heterogeneous response to pharmacological treatment detectable among asthmatics. In particular, polymorphisms of the genes encoding relevant anti-asthma drug targets contribute significantly to such a variability. Therefore, it is very important to characterize asthmatic patient's genotypes and the related phenotypic patterns, in order to predict the...
