A Comprehensive Systematic Review of the Association Between Airway Mucins and Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

CONCLUSION: There is a strong correlation between alterations in mucin expression profiles and CRS. This systematic review highlights the most recent literature on the role of mucins in CRS. The analysis of these studies is limited by the heterogeneity in study designs, relatively few numbers of clinical samples, and lack of mechanistic studies in animal models and in vitro cultures.
