Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, kits, and compositions for testing a sample from a subject with asthma to determine: i) if the subject is A/A or A/C at position 1245 in the HSD3B1 gene, and/or if the subject expresses a 367N version of the 3β-HSD1 protein (e.g., and should be administered a non-corticosteroid for their asthma), or ii) if the subject is C/C at position 1245 in the HSD3B1 gene, and/or if the subject expresses only the 367T version of the 3β-HSD1 protein (e.g., and should be administered a corticosteroid for their asthma). In certain embodiments, the corticosteroid is a glucocorticoid.
