DNA methylation is increasingly proposed as a mechanism for underlying asthma-related inflammation. However, epigenetic studies are constrained by uncertainties on whether samples that can be easily collected in human individuals provide informative results.Two nasal cell were different days brushings from 35 asthmatic children aged between 8 and 11 years old. We correlated of IL-6, iNOS, Alu LINE-1 with fractional exhaled nitric oxide, forced expiratory volume 1 s wheezing.Fractional oxide...
