Epigenetics Study Could Help Predict Asthma Risk (HCP Live)
By Kenny Walter, May 17, 2020, HCP Live. A better look at an individual’s epigenetic clock could help better understand the risk of developing asthma . A team, led by Denise Daley, PhD, University of British Columbia, used the Horvath age prediction algorithm to examine the predicted biological age of participants with and without asthma in a pair of cohorts based in Canada. Methylation is considered a crucial DNA epigenetic modification that can be impacted by environmental exposures, age,...
