Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Airway inflammation is associated with asthma exacerbation risk, treatment response, and disease mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify and validate a sputum gene expression signature that discriminates asthma inflammatory phenotypes. METHODS: An asthma phenotype biomarker discovery study generated gene expression profiles from induced sputum of 47 asthmatic patients. A clinical...
