Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Int Arch Allergy Immunol 124:183-6. 2001..Polymorphisms of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-AR) can affect its regulation; however, results of smaller studies of the effects of such polymorphisms on response to beta-agonist therapy have been inconsistent...
Pharmacogenetic association between ALOX5 promoter genotype and the response to anti-asthma treatmentJ M Drazen
Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA

J Allergy Clin Immunol 108:946-53. 2001..Eotaxin, a CC chemokine expressed in the asthmatic lung, has been associated with impaired lung function. The role of its variant form is unknown...
Clinical predictors of health-related quality of life depend on asthma severityM L Moy
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and Channing Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 163:924-9. 2001..We conclude that the independent determinants of HRQL vary according to asthma severity and change with asthma treatment...
TSLP polymorphisms are associated with asthma in a sex-specific fashionG M Hunninghake
Channing Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Allergy 65:1566-75. 2010..Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) have been associated with IgE (in girls) and asthma (in general). We sought to determine whether TSLP SNPs are associated with asthma in a sex-specific fashion...

Department of Biomedical Engineering, 44 Cummington St, Boston, MA 02215, USA
J Appl Physiol 95:511-8. 2003..We conclude that the volume dependence of Rcw can bias the presumed net change in airway caliber during tidal breathing and a DI but would not distort assessment of maximum airway dilation...
The effect of lung stretch during sleep on airway mechanics in overweight and obese asthmaL M Campana
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Boston University, Boston, MA, United States
Respir Physiol Neurobiol 185:304-12. 2013..01), but R(low) was unchanged. High R(up) was observed in asthma, which reduced with BPAP. We conclude that the upper airway is a major component of R(rs) and larger lung volume changes may be required to alter R(low)...
