A Review of the Epigenetic Clock: Emerging Biomarkers for Asthma and Allergic Disease
29 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation (DNAm) is a dynamic, age-dependent epigenetic modification that can be used to study interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Environmental exposures during critical periods of growth and development may alter DNAm patterns, leading to increased susceptibility to diseases such as asthma and allergies.
