How Can Microarrays Unlock Asthma?

Table 2

Asthma-related phenotypes that result from aberrant expression of splice variants.

Symbol	Gene Name	Phenotypes	Description	Reference
NPSR1	neuropeptide S receptor 1	IgE levels and Asthma	Isoform B over expressed in asthmatic ASM cells	[15]
IL-4	interleukin-4	Asthma	Alternatively spliced variants of IL-4 mRNA are differently expressed in patients with bronchial asthma	[58, 59]
COX-1	cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog (yeast)	Asthma	Alternatively spliced variants of COX-1 mRNA are differently expressed in patients with bronchial asthma	[60]
