Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease driven by diverse immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: Using transcriptomic profiling of airway tissues, we sought to define the molecular phenotypes of severe asthma. METHODS: The transcriptome derived from bronchial biopsies and epithelial brushings of 107 subjects with moderate to severe asthma were annotated by gene set variation analysis using 42...
