We regressed CpGs on eCO and tested via mediation analysis whether CpGs link eCO to birth weight. Nine smoking related CpG sites were significantly associated with birth weight. Among these nine CpGs the methylation of cg02264407 on the LMO7 gene was statistically significant and linked with eCO measurements. eCO greater than six ppm showed a 2.3% decrease in infant DNAm (p = 0.035) on the LMO7 gene. A 1% decrease in methylation at this site resulted in decreased birth weight by 44.8 g (p = 0.003). None of the nine CpGs tested was associated with self-reported smoking. This is the first study to report potential mediation of DNA methylation, linking eCO measurements during early pregnancy with birth weight.]]> Tue 04 Oct 2022 13:59:31 AEDT ]]> Cord blood group 2 innate lymphoid cells are associated with lung function at 6 weeks of age https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40658 Thu 28 Jul 2022 12:42:40 AEST ]]> Exposure to Stress and Air Pollution from Bushfires during Pregnancy: Could Epigenetic Changes Explain Effects on the Offspring? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39670 Thu 28 Jul 2022 08:10:20 AEST ]]> Rhinovirus bronchiolitis, maternal asthma, and the development of asthma and lung function impairments https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41043 p=.001), use of inhaled corticosteroids (68.2% and RR 2.17, 95% CI 1.19-3.99, p=.001) and short-acting β-agonists in the last 12 months (95.2% and RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.17-1.89, p=.001), as compared to those with RV negative bronchiolitis and no maternal asthma history. More children in this group had an abnormal airway resistance (33.3% and adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 3.11, 95% CI 1.03-9.47, p=.045) and reactance (27.8% and aRR 2.11, 95% CI 1.06-4.26, p=.035) at 5 Hz, as compared to those with RV negative bronchiolitis and no maternal asthma history. Conclusion: Hospitalization for RV positive bronchiolitis in early life combined with a history of maternal asthma identifies a subgroup of children with a high asthma burden while participants with only one of the two risk factors had intermediate risk for asthma.]]> Mon 08 Aug 2022 14:50:18 AEST ]]>
