Epigenetic Features in Newborns Associated with Preadolescence Lung Function and Asthma Acquisition during Adolescence.

The present study suggests that FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC (as objective measures of LF) and AA (incidence of asthma) are likely to have their own specific epigenetic features and biological pathways at birth. More replications are desirable to fully understand the complexity between DNAm, lung function, and asthma acquisition.
