.Alen Faiz: Steroid responsiveness in COPD is somewhat a black box. Involves genetic and epigenetic effects on biological function #ATS2019

.Alen Faiz: FKBP5 is a reproducible marker of taking ICS. Methylation of a site on FKPB5 is associated with ICS treatment in asthma and persists for weeks after stopping ICS #ATS2019
