Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have identified clinical or inflammatory phenotypes of asthma on the basis of clinical and demographic parameters or sputum cell counts; however, few studies have defined transcriptional phenotypes of asthma. OBJECTIVE: To investigate asthma phenotypes at a transcriptional level by using gene expression profiling of induced sputum. METHODS: Induced sputum samples were collected from...
