Genetic contribution to asthma informs acute chest syndrome pathophysiology and risk stratification
2025-10-02
Abstract excerpt
Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a severe complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), but we lack tool to identify patients at high risk of ACS. Epidemiological studies have found an association between asthma and ACS but whether this link is causal is unclear. We used polygenic score (PGS) to analyze whether the genetic susceptibility to asthma was associated with ACS and could be used to stratify the risk of ACS. We...
