Asthma is among the most common chronic diseases with an estimated 339 million cases worldwide, resulting in over 250,000 deaths each year. A major challenge is that “asthma” is an umbrella diagnosis for obstructive airway diseases with variable clinical presentations (phenotypes) and distinct mechanistic pathways (endotypes). There is a need to identify the fundamental biochemical dysregulations (metabotypes) associated with the etiology and pathophysiology of asthma in order to improve quality of life for individuals with asthma.
