What is it about?

It is now increasingly recognised that there are different types of asthma. To differentiate these different types of asthma, differences in the genes found in the lungs have been examined. This will provide an idea about what is causing the asthma and appropriate treatments can be given to each different type of asthma. This is the idea of personalised medicine, which is about giving the right patient the right treatment.
