Nasal (airway) epithelial methylation profiles have been associated with asthma, but the effects of such profiles on expression of distant cis-genes are largely unknown. In this study, the authors seek to identify genes whose expression is associated with proximal and distal CpG probes (within 1 Mb) and to assess whether and how such genes are differentially expressed in atopic asthma.

Asthma or asthma-like disease is highly prevalent in children born prematurely; however, it lacks the typical features of high rates of atopy or family history that characterize childhood asthma. In this research letter, the authors aimed to test the hypothesis that exposure to poor indoor air quality disproportionately affects asthma morbidity in children born prematurely.
