Integrative approaches combining polygenic or genomic data with multi-omics technologies have the potential to discover new biologic mechanisms and biomarkers for severe asthma and asthma exacerbations. Greater understanding of genomics and underlying biologic pathways will also lead to improved prevention and treatment, lowering costs, morbidity, and mortality. The utilization of genomic testing and personalized medicine may revolutionize asthma management, in particular for patients with severe, refractory asthma.
