Overexpression of Gal-10 mRNA was noted in peripheral blood of patients with aspirin-induced asthma compared to patients with aspirin-tolerant asthma despite similarity in other parameters associated with severe asthma in these two groups (i.e., age, peripheral eosinophilia, inhaled corticosteroid use, etc.)(123). Here, CLC is linked to Increased total eosinophil count.
