Studies on EOXs role in the pathology of asthma have revealed that the composition of EOXs in patients with asthma and healthy individuals are similar in size and carries important enzymes such as EPO (Eosinophil peroxidase), MBP (Major basic protein), and ECP (Eosinophil cationic protein) [54]. The gene discussed is RNASE3; the disease is asthma.
