Abstract:
The phenotype is the result of the observable characteristics of a subject resulting from the interactions between a genotype and its environment. Phenotyping asthmatic patients is a current search to better capture the heterogeneity of this disease with potential overlaps with other chronic bronchial disease such as COPD. This aspect is crucial in severe asthma where important unmet needs are found. The criteria used to phenotype asthma are issued from current clinical, functional and pathophysiological findings. The defined phenotypes will take benefit from more focused therapeutical avenues.

Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
