Abstract excerpt

Asthma is characterized by reversible bronchial hyper-responsiveness and airway inflammation, and encompasses a wide variety of patients with different clinical phenotypes that display variable responses to therapy. The definition of genomic variation presented in the Human Genome Project has facilitated the development of genetic-guided therapy in various diseases, including asthma. Tailored therapy is a reality...
