Abstract
The present invention provides methods, kits, and compositions related to testing a sample for the level of a biomarker related to asthma, wherein the biomarker is selected from: taurine, maltose, maltotriose, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, phosphoethanolamine, glycerophosphorylcholine, arachidonate, heptanoate, pelargonate, and nicotinamide. In certain embodiments, the level of the biomarker is used to identify therapy effective for treating asthma. In other embodiments, the level of the biomarker is used to identify the presence, severity, or risk of exacerbation of asthma. In further embodiments, the level of the biomarker is used to monitor the response to on-going therapy (e.g., adjust the dosage of the asthma therapy).
