What this paper adds:
- TMEM178 expression gained attention as a predictor of asthma severity
with a significant value in the discrimination between different
asthma phenotypes.
- CLCA1, SERPINB2 and Periostin expression were upregulated not only in
airway epithelial cells of asthmatic children but also in controlled
and atopic asthma.
- Identification of nasal epithelial cell genes of childhood asthma may
represent a step forward toward tailored management and therapy.
