Seminal and
ongoing research has made it clear that the molecular signature of asthma is
not unique.
The molecular abnormalities
that have been described in asthma are rather heterogeneous, and those that
lead to asthma symptoms also differ between affected individuals.
This is not
surprising, owing to the plethora of environmental factors that can trigger
asthma. More than 500 individual triggers have been identified, including
allergens, viruses, bacteria, pollutants, exercise, as well as occupational irritants
and sensitizers.
