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.
