Sputum differential leukocyte counts revealed the paucigranulocytic asthma phenotype as the most common in both asthma groups, followed by the eosinophilic phenotype in the asthmatics with high total IgE and the neutrophilic phenotype in the asthmatics with normal IgE respectively, yet no significant differences were found between both asthma groups in terms of inflammatory phenotype classification. This evidence concerns the gene IGHE and asthma.
