Study identifies eight signals for asthma-COPD overlap

A new study identified eight signals for asthma-COPD overlap that researchers said appear to represent loci that predispose patients to type 2 inflammation and thus serious long-term consequences of asthma, researchers reported in Chest.
“Guidelines emphasize that asthma and COPD are different conditions, but may coexist in the same patient,” Catherine John, MBBChir, from the department of health sciences at the University of Leicester, England, and colleagues wrote. “People with features of both diseases risk being excluded from research that might provide evidence about the
