A pilot study to assess recruitment and nasal sampling in newborns. Future research studies will look at the epithelial cells in the nose at birth to determine any gene signature patterns which may predict the development of wheeze, allergy and asthma later in childhood. However, before these studies can be started we need to do a pilot study.
