Background Asthma is a complex disease that involves both genetic factors and
environmental exposures. Aberrant epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, may …

Maternal asthma (MA) is among the most consistent risk factors for asthma in children.
Possible mechanisms for this observation are epigenetic modifications in utero that have …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms, including methylation, can contribute to childhood
asthma. Identifying DNA methylation profiles in asthmatic patients can inform disease …

Background Smoking while pregnant is associated with a myriad of negative health
outcomes in the child. Some of the detrimental effects may be due to epigenetic …

Background DNA methylation profiles associated with childhood asthma might provide
novel insights into disease pathogenesis. We did an epigenome-wide association study to …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms could alter the airway epithelial barrier and ultimately
lead to atopic diseases such as asthma. We aimed to identify DNA methylation profiles that …

Background Epigenetics may play a role in wheezing and asthma development. We aimed
to examine infant saliva DNA methylation in association with early childhood wheezing …

Aim: We aim to study DNA methylation (DNAm) variations associated with childhood
asthma. Methods: Nasal DNAm was compared between sibling pairs discordant for asthma …

Background Underlying biological mechanisms involved in sex differences in asthma status
changes from pre‐to post‐adolescence are unclear. DNA methylation (DNAm) has been …

Background: Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for chronic disease later in
life and has been associated with variability of DNA methylation at specific cytosine …
