Childhood Asthma and Allergy Are Related to Accelerated Epigenetic Aging

Allergy, EarlyView.
We used a pediatric epigenetic clock to assess epigenetic age in children from a German birth cohort. Accelerated epigenetic aging was found to be related to the presence of allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, or eczema, but not to non‐symptomatic aeroallergen sensitization. This was supported by an epigenetic age acceleration gradient in response

Gene–Environment Interaction Affects Risk of Atopic Eczema: Population and In Vitro Studies

Allergy, EarlyView.
Atopic eczema is a complex trait resulting from multiple genetic and environmental factors. This study investigated evidence for interaction between 24 established eczema genetic risk variants and 18 environmental factors. One variant‐environmental pair showed nominally significant interaction in discovery, replication and meta‐analyses: early‐life dog

Basophil Activation Test: Bridging Allergy and Oncology for Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Prognostic Applications in AllergoOncology: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The basophil activation test (BAT) is gaining increasing relevance as an ex vivo functional assay in allergy to evaluate IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions to food allergens, venoms, and drugs and to monitor tolerance induction. Establishing universal standard operating protocols has been difficult, due to several challenges including ...
