Figure 3D shows that patients with mild asthma who are allergic to fungi (2 out of 6) exhibited the highest percentage of CD177+ IL-17+ neutrophils as compared to those patients with mild asthma who are allergic to other allergens (P = .029) and to healthy controls (allergic fungal P = .0001, other allergens &P = .04). This evidence concerns the gene CD177 and asthma.
