A New Bronchiectasis Endophenotype: Immunoallertypes

[...]there appeared to be a geographical influence on sensitivity: subjects from the SG-KL contingent manifested higher responses to HDM allergens and a single Aspergillus allergen, rAsp 1, whereas the DD contingent manifested higher responses to the A. alternaría and Aspergillus allergens, with the exception of rAsp 1. [...]Mac Aogaáin and colleagues correlated the level of sensitization patterns to clinical outcomes such as lung function and the bronchiectasis severity index. [...]it identifies sensitization as an "endophenotype" of bronchiectasis.
