Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine expression of genes involved in the cause of chronic rhinosinusitis. Type of Patients: - Sinus patients undergoing surgery for sinus disease, including chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis and chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis.
- Normal patients without sinus disease undergoing nasal surgery for other reasons.

- Chronic rhinosinusitis patients without polyposis
- Chronic rhinosinusitis patients with asthma and/or aspirin allergy
- Patients without sinus disease
Information for Patients:
