2020, Clinical TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :It is considered one of the most elusive chronic disorders and has been likened to conditions such as fever, of which there are many causes. In 2006, The Lancet made a plea for the abandonment of asthma as a single disease concept.3 Over the past 2 decades under the spotlight, great strides have been made in developing an asthma taxonomy based on pathobiology.
Genomic mosaicism: A neglected factor that promotes variability in asthma diagnosis
2019, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, asthma also has a complex genetic basis involving environmental factors and individual variabilities [9,15,16]. In this sense, the term “asthma” has been suggested to be out of date, being necessary to perform more studies to find a common process to understand this disease as a unique pathology [17]. We consider that the genetic variability itself can contribute to define key mechanisms to describe this disease.
