Genetic Insights into Respiratory Diseases: From Bench to Bedside

Abstract

Adams Moore

Respiratory diseases constitute a significant global health burden, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these conditions has rapidly evolved over the years, thanks to advances in genomic technologies and research. This comprehensive review delves into the latest genetic insights into respiratory diseases, exploring how bench research has translated into clinical applications at the bedside. We will discuss key respiratory conditions, such as asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and interstitial lung diseases, with a focus on genetic predisposition, risk factors, and personalized therapies. Moreover, we will analyze the impact of genetic discoveries on disease management and future prospects for precision medicine in the field of respiratory medicine.
