Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

384
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
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.

Asthma-I: Introduction01:29

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.6K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

270
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

2.6K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
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:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Computational Biology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Asthma is a complex, chronic airway inflammatory disease with multifactorial causes.
  • Accurate characterization of asthma is challenging due to its heterogeneity.
  • Identifying genetic variations and molecular interactions is key to understanding asthma pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive genetic panel for asthma using machine learning (ML).
  • To identify genetic markers associated with asthma risk.
  • To explore ML methods for asthma prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Compared three variable selection methods: Boruta's algorithm, top 200 genome-wide association study (GWAS) markers, and elastic net regression.
  • Utilized ten different ML classification algorithms.
  • Constructed a predictive panel based on joint scores from classification algorithms.

Main Results:

  • Boruta's algorithm and GWAS markers showed similar average accuracies; elastic net performed worst.
  • The final predictive panel comprised 155 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs).
  • The panel achieved 91.18% accuracy, 92.75% sensitivity, and 89.55% specificity using a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. SNVs ranged from known to novel markers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ML-based method effectively classifies asthma and non-asthma cases.
  • This predictive genetic panel demonstrates significant potential for clinical prediction and diagnosis of asthma.
  • The study highlights the utility of tailored ML approaches for complex genetic diseases.
