18 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Latinos are heavily affected with childhood asthma. Little is known about epigenetic mechanisms of asthma in Latino youth. We conducted a meta-analysis of two epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of asthma, using DNA from white blood cells (WBCs) from 1,136 Latino children and youth aged 6 to 20 years. Genes near the top CpG sites in this EWAS were examined in a pathway enrichment analysis, and we then...
