We hypothesize that the miRNA expression in subjects with nasal polyps and Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) differs from the miRNA expressed in subjects with nasal polyps but without Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
Nasal epithelial tissue will be collected from the inferior nasal turbinates of ten subjects with nasal polyps and AERD disease and from the inferior turbinates of ten subjects with nasal polyps but without AERD. A rhinoprobe⢠will be used to collect this epithelial tissue. These samples will be analyzed by miRNA assay to determine if there is a difference in mircroRNA expression between the two subject groups.

| microRNA | Genetic | Biological samples will be taken from subjects w/ Nasal polyps & AERD disease and subjects w/ nasal polyps without AERD. MicroRNA will be analyzed to compare genetic similarities and differences between the two study groups. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Positibe Group: 2 fold or greater will be identified as differntially expressed MiRNA. | 5 total groups | No time frame noted |
| Negative Group: MiRNAs are absent from both groups | 5 total groups | No time frame noted |

This study will be a prospective study design with a target sample size of 20. The objective of conducting it as a prospective study is to confirm that the sampling procedures and analysis methodology work as expected before attempting a larger study. We propose to have 10 study participants with nasal polyps but without AERD and 10 study participants with nasal polyps and AERD. If the results of this study are promising, larger studies with sufficient power for statistical analysis will be considered.
