Phenotypes, early-life factors characterize difficult-to-control asthma in urban children

PHOENIX — Certain phenotypes are associated with difficult-to-control asthma in urban children, which may be characterized by specific early-life factors and patterns of nasal epithelial cell gene expression, according to a speaker here.
James E. Gern, MD, FAAAAI, professor of pediatrics and medicine at University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, spoke at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting to review the data that has been gathered thus far on where difficult-to-control asthma may originate in children living in urban environments.
