Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks

Florence Demenais, +216 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of GWAS studies for asthma from multiancestral cohorts identifies five new loci and finds that the asthma-associated loci are enriched near enhancer marks in immune cells, suggesting a major role of these loci in the regulation of immunologically related mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of 6 weeks of therapy with oral doses of ICI 204,219, a leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist, in subjects with bronchial asthma

TL;DR: Diary card assessments showed that treatment with increasing doses of ICI 204,219 linearly improved five efficacy criteria without increasing the number or severity of adverse events and may provide a new treatment option for the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tobramycin Solution for Inhalation Reduces Sputum Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Density in Bronchiectasis

TL;DR: Investigators indicated that 62% of TSI patients showed an improved medical condition compared with 38% of placebo patients, and more TSI-treated patients than placebo patients reported increased cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and noncardiac chest pain, but the symptoms did not limit therapy.
