Fig. 3From: Bronchial thermoplasty in severe asthma: a real-world study on efficacy and gene profilingGene expressions at T0 and T2 associated with the numbers of exacerbations post-BT. Gene expressions in bronchial biopsies at T0 and T2 were calculated by the 2− ΔCt method using the GAPDH as housekeeper gene, classifying patients according to the number of exacerbations during the 12 months of follow up post BT (n = 27). Horizontal lines show the median ± interquartile range (IQR). Data were analyzed by Mann–Whitney U test. Only genes which showed statistically significant associations (p < 0.05) are depictedBack to article page
