Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in the β-2 adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) has been implicated in asthma severity and control with conflicting results. Epigenetic variation in the ADRB2 may play an important role in asthma phenotype. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate whether DNA methylation of ADRB2 is associated with asthma phenotypes in inner-city school-aged children. METHODS: Multiple CpG sites in the promoter...
