Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The airway transcriptome includes genes that contribute to the pathophysiologic heterogeneity seen in individuals with asthma. OBJECTIVES: We analyzed sputum gene expression for transcriptomic endotypes of asthma (TEA), gene signatures that discriminate phenotypes of disease. METHODS: Gene expression in the sputum and blood of patients with asthma was measured using Affymetrix microarrays. Unsupervised...
