epigenome wide association studies (ewas)

What are some notable findings from Pediatric EWAS?

Recent EWAS in pediatric populations have yielded several important findings:
1. Asthma: Studies have identified epigenetic marks associated with asthma, which are influenced by environmental exposures such as air pollution and maternal smoking.
2. Obesity: Epigenetic changes related to obesity have been linked to early-life nutritional exposures. These findings suggest that interventions during critical developmental windows could prevent obesity later in life.
3. Neurodevelopmental Disorders: EWAS have identified epigenetic alterations in genes involved in brain development, providing insights into conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
