Figure 1. Heatmap of the groups. Gene expression heatmap of the groups. (A) Heatmap between the HC group and the CA group. (B) Heatmap between the HC group and the CVA group. (C) Heatmap between the CA group and the CVA group. Green indicates low expression, and red indicates high expression. Samples in group g1 (HC, healthy control): CHY1, LHC2, WC3, ZYX-831, ZGH-831. g2 (CA, classical asthma): HS4, ZXM6, HXF8, WFG7, XYQ5. g3 (CVA, cough variant asthma): LY9, CL10, XCY11, ZJ13, L12.
