The objectives of this study are: 1) to conduct genome-wide studies of DNA methylation or gene expression and asthma in two tissues relevant to airway diseases: nasal epithelium and white blood cells, and 2) to study whether selected environmental exposures affect the methylation and gene expression signals identified in objective 1.
Between 2013 and 2017, approximately 500 Puerto Rican children ages 6 to 14 years, with and without asthma, were enrolled in the study.
Study visits took place at the Medical Science Campus of the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan. Study procedures included questionnaires, respiratory testing, and collection of nasal epithelial and blood samples.
