Despite the sustained research efforts during the last years focused on the identification of biomarkers applicable in clinical practice for the management of asthma, only a few biomarkers indicative of T2-high asthma have been described (e.g. IgE, eosinophils in blood and/or sputum, Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide [FeNO], periostin), and their utility in diagnosis, prognosis and therapy is still controversial [3, 6]. The gene discussed is POSTN; the disease is asthma.
