Expression Profile for Acute Childhood Asthma
Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and has a strong genetic component. This technology identifies gene expression signatures that differentiate stable asthma and acute exacerbations. Researchers profiled gene expression patterns in nasal respiratory epithelial cells from children who had stable asthma, those experiencing asthma exacerbation,...

Novel Genetic Marker for Food Allergy
Despite the similarities of food allergy with other atopic disorders, several characteristics of food allergy are distinct. Food allergy often presents very early in life and sometimes after only a single exposure to the allergen, making this technology attractive as a diagnostic for identifying at-risk infants at birth or soon thereafter.

A Novel Genetic Marker for Asthma
A Novel Genetic Marker for Asthma (CHMC Ref. Id: 1998-0722) Overview: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder that leads to increased airway responsiveness to a variety of stimuli and recurrent airway obstruction. Approximately 5% of adults and 7-10% of children in the U.S. have asthma. Asthma is the fourth leading cause of morbidity and the number...
