Scientists Uncover Three Distinct Subtypes of Eosinophilic Esophagitis which Lead to Develop Personalised Medical Therapies to Treat Food Allergies

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have uncovered three distinct subtypes of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an emerging food allergic disease. The discovery provides a framework for developing precision medicines to treat this often-debilitating disorder. The researchers found that each of the three groups, or endotypes (EoEe1, EoEe2, and EoEe3), was associated with different clinical features and molecular pathways.
