Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A genetic basis to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is postulated, but remains elusive. We have recently identified low levels of circulating CD8 lymphocytes as a frequent finding in difficult-to-treat or refractory CRS. In major histocompatibility complex 1 class 1 (MHC1) deficiency, low circulating levels of CD8 lymphocytes secondary to mutations in the cluster of differentiation 8a (CD8A), tapasin 1...
