Nasal gene expression differentiates COPD from controls and overlaps bronchial gene expression

Abstract excerpt

Nasal gene expression profiling is a promising method to characterize COPD non-invasively. We aimed to identify a nasal gene expression profile to distinguish COPD patients from healthy controls. We investigated whether this COPD-associated gene expression profile in nasal epithelium is comparable with the profile observed in bronchial epithelium. Genome wide gene expression analysis was performed on nasal...
