Expression data from ORMDL3 knockdown in the A549 Human Lung Epithelial cell line

Asthma is characterized by intermittent inflammation of the airways, airflow limitation and wheeze. The ORMDL3 locus on chromosome 17q21 confers the major genetic susceptibility to childhood asthma. Although sphingolipids are important in immune signalling, the mechanisms of action of ORMDL3 on airway inflammation are incompletely understood.
