Do you have severe asthma? Researchers in this study are trying to determine if a person's genetic makeup changes how a steroid used to treat asthma affects how well it works. You may be able to participate if you are between 18 and 50 years old. The study is taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Do you or your child have a lung disease? This study will investigate the genes involved in the breathing process and in the development of lung diseases such as asthma or sarcoidosis to improve understanding of the role they play. To participate in this study, you or your child must be between 2 and 90 years old. This study is located in Bethesda, Maryland, at the NIH Clinical Center.

Are you an adult who has had asthma for longer than a year? This study will gather general information over a 20-year period about people who have had asthma to understand why patients respond differently to treatment. To participate in this study, you must be age 18 or older, have been diagnosed with asthma for at least one year, and not have any other major conditions. This study is located in Bethesda, Maryland.

Do you have asthma or would you like to help research on asthma? This study will look at the differences between cells from the airways of people who do and do not have asthma. Doctors will use a procedure called bronchoscopy to collect cells. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 75 years old, not have HIV, and not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant. This study is located in Bethesda, Maryland.

Are you an adult who has asthma, or are you willing to be a healthy volunteer? This study aims to test a new and less invasive way to look at the levels of a protein called GSNOR in people who have asthma. High levels of this protein can lead to inflammation (swelling) in the airways. Normally, doctors measure GSNOR levels with bronchoscopy (a tube inserted through your mouth into your airways). But this often requires you to be sedated. In the new approach being studied here, you will breathe in a chemical that your body makes, called GSNO. Researchers will look at how much of the chemical is broken down in your breath. This will tell them what your GSNOR levels are. They will compare the levels between people who have asthma and people who do not to see whether the test works. To participate in this study, you should be between 18 and 80 years old and either have been diagnosed with asthma for at least a year or not have asthma and not smoke. This study is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
