Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Memphis explores the association between newborn DNA methylation (DNAm) and the acquisition of asthma during adolescence. The study aims to uncover potential early biomarkers of asthma risk by investigating epigenetic markers in newborns and their association with lung function in preadolescence. The researchers analyzed data from the Isle of Wight Birth cohort and found specific epigenetic features and biological pathways associated with lung function and asthma acquisition. Further replication studies are needed to fully understand the complexity of the relationship between DNAm, lung function, and asthma acquisition. [Extracted from the article]
