Background
Functional variants in the interleukin‐6 receptor gene (IL6R) are associated with asthma risk. We hypothesized that genes co‐expressed with IL6R might also be regulated by genetic polymorphisms that are associated with asthma risk. The aim of this study was to identify such genes.
Methods
To identify genes whose expression was correlated with that of IL6R, we analyzed gene expression...
The growing self organizing map (GSOM) has proven Itself as an adaptive and robust knowledge discovery algorithm with applications in diverse disciplines. The unrestricted network topology of the learning phase of GSOM enables clustering of data vectors based on the notion of similarity. The hierarchical clustering capability of the GSOM allows drill down examination of clusters at different levels...
Written asthma action plans (WAAPs) have become a core component of asthma management in Australia. We investigated ownership, utilisation and factors associated with ownership of asthma action plans by caregivers.443/776 (57%) caregivers of children aged 2–14 years with asthma were identified from 32 GP clinics as part of a randomised controlled trial (RCT), and completed self-administered questionnaires...
