Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The response to treatment for asthma is characterized by wide interindividual variability, with a significant number of patients who have no response. We hypothesized that a genomewide association study would reveal novel pharmacogenetic determinants of the response to inhaled glucocorticoids. METHODS: We analyzed a small number of statistically powerful variants selected on the basis of a...
