lncRNA-based Nomogram to Assist Childhood Asthma Diagnosis

Withdrawn
Conditions
Childhood Asthma
Registration Number
NCT04525586
Lead Sponsor
Children's Hospital of Fudan University
Brief Summary

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, however, underdiagnosis of childhood asthma is an important issue in asthma management. The lack of reliable and objective diagnostic indicators requires the development of rapid and accurate strategies for the early diagnosis of childhood asthma. Recent studies have found a correlation between long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression and childhood asthma, suggesting that lncRNA may be a potential biomarker for asthma diagnosis.

Detailed Description

The investigators envision exploring the early diagnosis of asthma by combining lncRNA with electronic medical records. In this project, the investigators will combine high-throughput sequencing, asthma case database, electronic medical record and informatics to investigate the feasibility of combining lncRNA with electronic medical record for asthma diagnostic model. The expected results will establish the foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood asthma and open up new ideas.
