The impact of allergic rhinitis and asthma on human nasal and bronchial epithelial gene expression.

BACKGROUND: The link between upper and lower airways in patients with both asthma and allergic rhinitis is still poorly understood. As the biological complexity of these disorders can be captured by gene expression profiling we hypothesized that the clinical expression of rhinitis and/or asthma is r...
