Nasal gene expression differentiates COPD from controls and overlaps bronchial gene expression

Abstract Background Nasal gene expression profiling is a promising method to characterize COPD non-invasively. We aimed to identify a nasal gene expression profile to distinguish COPD patients from healthy controls. We investigated whether this COPD-associated gene expression profile in nasal epithe...
