Furthermore, the expression of GRα isoform was significantly lower in patients with asthma (p = 0.002) and COPD (p = 0.0002), as compared to controls (Fig. 1c) but there was no difference in the expression of GRβ between controls and patients with asthma or COPD (Fig. 1d). The gene discussed is GZMB; the disease is asthma.
