The Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development birth cohort was designed to elucidate interactions between environment and genetics underlying development of asthma allergy. Over 3600 pregnant mothers were recruited from the general population in four provinces with diverse environments. child is followed age 5 years, prospective characterization exposures during this critical period. Key exposure domains include indoor outdoor air pollutants, inhalation, ingestion dermal uptake...

Abstract Context Establishing reference ranges as well identifying and quantifying the determinants of thyroid function during pregnancy is important for proper clinical interpretation optimizing research efforts. However, such data are sparse, specifically triiodothyronine measurements, most studies do not take into account antibodies or human chorionic gonadotropin. Objective To determine to identify/quantify TSH, free T4 (FT4), (FT3), total (TT4), (TT3). Design, Setting, Participants This...

Abstract Humans are continuously exposed to chemicals with suspected or proven endocrine disrupting (EDCs). Risk management of EDCs presents a major unmet challenge because the available data for adverse health effects generated by examining one compound at time, whereas real‐life exposures mixtures chemicals. In this work, we integrate epidemiological and experimental evidence toward whole mixture strategy risk assessment. To illustrate, conduct following four steps in case study: (1)...

Abstract DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles in central airway epithelial cells (AECs) may play a key role pathological processes asthma. The goal of the current study is to compare diagnostic performance DNAm markers across three tissues: AECs, nasal (NECs), and peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs). Additionally, we focused on results using machine learning algorithm context multi-locus effects evaluate optimal subset CpG sites.
