Acute wheeze-specific gene module shows correlation with vitamin D and asthma medication

Background Airway obstruction and wheezing in preschool children with recurrent viral infections are a major clinical problem, and are recognised as a risk factor for the development of chronic asthma. We aimed to analyse whether gene expression profiling provides evidence for pathways that delineate distinct groups of children with wheeze, and in combination with clinical information could contribute to diagnosis and prognosis of disease...
