Asthma phenotypes

چکیده
Currently, categorization based on cluster analysis by objectively grasping the diversity of pathology is being conducted and the diversity of asthma is being categorized as phenotypes. Clinically, there is categorization based on aging and on allergic diathesis which is clinically useful; however, it has not, up to now, come to the point of selection based on phenotype. Subsequently, what is desired is the establishment of phenotype categorization for the purpose of materialization of treatment strategy which corresponds to individual cases. This study elaborates on order-made medicine while considering phenotype.

Airway Inflammatory Biomarker: Could It Tailor the Right Medications for the Right Asthmatic Patient?
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, in which asthmatic patients present with different clinical phenotypes, variable endotypes, and different response to asthma medicines. Thus, we are faced with an asthma paradox; asthma is diagnosed subjectively by clinical history and treated with biologically active drugs. To solve this paradox, we need objective airway biomarkers to tailor the proper medica...
متن کاملClinical phenotypes of asthma.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Asthma is a phenotypically heterogeneous disorder and, over the years, many different clinical subtypes of asthma have been described. A precise definition of asthma phenotypes is now becoming more and more important, not only for a better understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms, but in particular to ascertain the specific genes associated with these phenotypes. RECENT ...

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an allergic disorder of the nasal tissue that underlies diseases such as sinusitis, otits and asthma. Different predisposing factors including immunological and non-immunological factors contribute to the disease pathogenesis. Objective: To investigate association of haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes (Hp1-1, 2-1 and 2-2) with serum immunoglobulins A and E levels ...
متن کاملIdentifying adult asthma phenotypes using a clustering approach.
There is a need to improve asthma characterisation by integrating multiple aspects of the disease. The aim of the present study was to identify distinct asthma phenotypes by applying latent class analysis (LCA), a model-based clustering method, to two large epidemiological studies. Adults with asthma who participated in the follow-up of the Epidemiological Study on the Genetics and Environment ...
متن کاملPhenotyPes in AsthmA
Asthma is a heterogeneous disorder presenting with many phenotypes. Improved phenotypic characterization is necessary for linkage of specific genotypes with clinical disease manifestations. Since genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity are inherent in asthma, patients presenting with different asthma phenotypes may need tailored therapies. The advent of targeted therapies for asthma and clinical...
متن کاملAsthma phenotypes: the intriguing selective intervention with Montelukast
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation and a variable course associated with various underlying mechanisms that can differ between individuals. Patients with asthma can therefore exhibit different phenotypes, a term used to define the observable characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction between its genetic makeup and the envir...
