Our qRT-PCR results for CCL13, CCL18, CRISP3, EMR3, and IL1RL1 (ST2) (Figure 2) and the increased presence of CLC (Figure 3) and CCL18 [17] protein in separately collected airway specimens from CRS or asthmatic patients, in accordance with their increased mRNA levels in our aCRSwNP patients, further support the validity of our exon array data. The gene discussed is CCL18; the disease is congenital rubella syndrome.
