Abstract Prenatal exposure to air pollution is an important risk factor for child health outcomes, including asthma. Identification of DNA methylation changes associated with pollutant can provide new intervention targets improve children’s health. The aim this study test the association between prenatal and in developmental asthma-/allergy-relevant biospecimens (placenta, buccal, cord blood, nasal mucosa, lavage). A subset 2294 collected from 1906 participants enrolled Environmental...

Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci associated with common vascular diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), and hypertension. However, the lack mechanistic insights for a majority these limits translation findings into clinic. Among unknown functions is UFL1-FHL5 (chr6q16.1), locus that reached genome-wide significance in recent CAD/MI GWAS meta-analysis. In addition to CAD/MI, also implicated...
