Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Is Associated with Epigenome-Wide Differential Methylation in BAL Lung Cells
14 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract DNA methylation patterns in chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) might offer new insights into disease pathogenesis. To assess methylation profiles in the main COPD target organ, we performed an epigenome-wide association study on BAL cells. Bronchoscopies were performed in 18 subjects with COPD and 15 control subjects (ex- and current smokers). DNA methylation was measured using the Illumina...
