First seen Mar 31, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at why some people get a severe form of sinusitis with nasal polyps that doesn't go away easily. Researchers think changes in how genes are turned on or off (epigenetics) and certain viruses might be the cause. They will compare tissue samples from 60 people—those with active disease, those in remission, and healthy volunteers—to find new markers and possible treatment targets.
