Elucidation of asthma phenotypes in atopic teenagers through parallel immunophenotypic and clinical profiling
EM Hollams, M Deverell, M Serralha… - Journal of allergy and …, 2009 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Current treatment strategies for asthma in teenagers derive primarily from
information on chronic disease in adults. More detailed understanding of risk factors related
to teenage asthma might aid in the development of improved preventive and treatment
strategies for this age group. OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify biomarkers associated with
asthma phenotypes in teenagers, particularly atopic asthma, and to identify markers that aid
in discriminating between atopic subjects at high versus low risk of asthma. METHODS: We …
